Northern Illinois University students to be featured exhibitors
at DeKalb Area Women’s Center
DE KALB – Two Northern Illinois University students will be the featured artists-of-the-month at the DeKalb Area Women’s Center during the month of April.
In “Dreams – The World of Fugitive Pleasures” Taiwanese student Po-Wen Liu is exhibiting slab-built ceramics, referencing traditional Chinese culture in the form of pillows, once functional, now sculptural objects of glazed porcelain. Liu expects to receive his Master of Fine Arts degree in ceramics from NIU in May.
Liu’s wife, Eun-Hee Lim of Korea, with a specialty in the fiber arts is exhibiting installations titled “Family Where You Are,” in which she arranges four 10-foot weavings to fit the exhibition space. Several oranges in the warp and vivid red, yellow, orange and blue interwoven in the weft represent personalities of family members. Lim designed the unique patterns, operated the loom harness by computer and ran the shuttle by hand to weave yards of fabric. Her contemporary silk paintings on stretched 100 percent silk with original designs applied by brush painting of permanent dyes allow for expressive emotions in the pieces. Lim is pursuing a doctoral degree in art education.
A closing reception will be held 7-9 p.m. Friday, April 30, and is free and open to the public. Some of the artwork will be available for purchase. The galleries are open 7-9 p.m. on Fridays and at other times during special events. For individual or group showings by appointment, please leave a message at (815) 758-1351. Also the DAWC garden-in-progress is open for viewing throughout spring, summer and fall.
Off-street parking is available one-half block south of the building. Enter the alley from 11th Street (between State and Market Streets). A handicapped accessible lift is located in the alley between State and Pleasant Streets, north of the Center. Please call ahead to arrange for the use of the lift.
