long beach arts abstractions exhibitions April to May 2010
cascade cardboard, styrofoam, and vintage buttons (3'x 6') HONORABLE MENTION Long Beach Arts abstractions exhibition was juried by Diana LoSchiavo, fine art educator from Brooklyn Museum Art School As an eco friendly artist, "Cascade" touches home very closely, as it was inspired by the common material such as cardboard, as it usually provides much support in transport, but not very lustrous in color for creating art. However, combined with other colorful material, creates the illusion of cascading effect as it hangs down below.

addicted Aluminum on Wood (11 ¼”x 11 ¼”) Long Beach Arts “Found Object” exhibit was juried by Christopher Sands. “Raised in the 60’s as a Buddhist on the mountains of Seoul, Korea, I was taught to conserve and reuse. When I arrived in America on my 11th birthday, I was overwhelmed with abundance of food and toys. As much as I loved my new country, I held on to the old customs of recycling. “Addicted” represents our obsession with sugar, caffeine, and drugs; that too much of a good thing can actually be a bad thing. During my research, I discovered that “Coca-Cola” was derived from the word “cocaine”, a substance that was used in sodas back when “Coca-Cola” was first introduced to the public.” Connie Cannon
