Reception: SAND T: New Work
The Student Union Art Gallery proudly presents an exhibition of forty new works by SAND T.
SAND T's new works on acrylic or hardboard panel use epoxy resin, graphite, and paint to create a simple visual experience with the basic elements of dot, line, surface, and light, yet they suggest the abstract concepts of time, concentration, and meditative energies of motion. The physicality of "drawing the lines" and "dropping the dots" underlines the artist's fixation with chaos, the keen desire to bring order within the structural grid.
SAND T has exhibited her work in solo shows in Malaysia and the USA. She has participated in group shows in the USA, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, and her work resides in public and private art collections worldwide.
SAND T operated artSPACE@16, an award-winning non-commercial gallery in Malden, Massachusetts from October 1998 to May 2008. Her recent awards include The Malden YWCA Tribute to Women Award 2007, grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council (2000, 2001, 2002, 2006, and 2007) and the LEF Foundation (2006 and 2007). SAND T was nominated for a Commonwealth Award in 2007 for Outstanding Contributions to Arts and Culture in Massachusetts.
Gallery hours are Mondays-Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. All events are free and open to the public.
This exhibit is made possible by the UMass Arts Council, the Student Government Association, and the Graduate Student Senate.
