the JD Fergusson Award 1997.  Ross currently lives and works in Scotland
and lectures at the Edinburgh College of Art.  For more information:

Gallery A: NEIL GRIEG
"The visual power of the sea has a spiritual impact for him and it is
the contrast between sea and land, shifting light and texture that
dominate his work.  Greig's forceful work is less about unity in nature
than the order of natural divisions, infused with a potent energy." Fred
Johnson, Sunday Times

Grieg is a native of Belfast, Northern Ireland.  He graduated from
Edinburgh Art College in 1988, and was awarded an Andrew Grant
Scholarship for Post-Graduate Study.  To date he has had numerous solo
exhibitions of his paintings and participated in various group shows
throughout Ireland and Europe.


Gallery B: MARLENE ALT, BIRD/BUILDING/BODY
The work in this exhibition consists of hybrid wood constructions that
merge nature, architecture, and the body into both a physical and
psychological landscape.  These constructions attempt to explore the gap
between nature and culture and our nostalgia for an idealized American
past and the universal ache accompanying the reality of its existence.


Gallery C: MARILYNN MURPHY, A CATALOG OF WINDS
Murphy's paintings of unusual situations create the appearance of
narrative similar to a film still.  Her realistic works of characters
involved in improbable situations explore various manifestations of
power.  She has researched this work at the National Severe Storms
Laboratory, the photographic archives of the Western History Collection
at the University of Oklahoma, and in Australia and New Zealand.


Gallery D: MEE KYUNG SHIM, IDENTITY/IDEALITY
Kyung's recent figurative paintings form a 'swimming' series that turn
an everyday recreational activity into a metaphor for cultural
acclimation.  As a Korean native studying art in America, Shim sees the
challenge of balancing her Korean and American cultures to be similar to
the weightlessness felt underwater.
