11/11 EAST Stops
The 'Chronicle' Arts editor's recommendations for the 2011 tour
By Robert Faires, Fri., Nov. 11, 2011
Denise Prince
1404 Willow, alley entrance, 707-7743, www.deniseprince.com
The longtime photographer with an eye for placing women in stunningly colorful environments showcases her return to painting.
Barry George
204 Attayac, 775-7301
This master sculptor's use of aged metal makes his often whimsical works look like antiques unearthed from some Oz-like otherwhere.
Willow House
1806 Willow, 222-7286, www.eastsidesign.com
A century-old wood home is undergoing a slow and magical metamorphosis at the hands and imaginations of the East Side Design team.
Satch Grimley
Red Bluff Studios, 4809 Red Bluff, 745-1355, www.satchgrimley.com
Silhouetted stags and hares bound past variegated starbursts in the layered and delightful mixed-media constructions of this Austin native.
Bob Wynn
Delta Millworks, 4701 E. Fifth, 370-2414, www.bobwynnphoto.com
If he isn't capturing the fullness of humanity in his subjects' faces, this photographer is filling landscapes with a sky as big as God, watching us.
Chris Levack
Splinter Group North, 4709 E. Fifth, 771-8911, www.texassculpture.com
More than a sculptor, Levack is a mediator between the Texas landscape and us, masterfully crafting works that respond to land, sky, and sun.
Madelaine Plauché
2710 E. Cesar Chavez, 524-0354, www.madelaineplauche.blogspot.com
All her simple, elegant ceramic wares are captivating, but the teakettles and jars with Asian elephant designs are worth trumpeting for.
Sunyong Chung
Ginko Studios, 800 Gullett, 389-1920, www.ginkopottery.com
This maker of exquisite porcelain pottery and sculpture isn't showing new work for this year's tour but will guide guests through her process, hands-on and free.
Hatch Workshop
618 Tillery, 999-2634, www.hatchworkshop.com
Discarded goods and found objects are wonderfully repurposed with wit, imagination, and craftsman's care into marvelously stylish furniture.
Brooke Gassiot
Pump Project Art Complex, 702 Shady, Studio F, 299-2254, www.brookegassiot.com
Simply put, light inside wooden boxes, but the constructions of this mixed-media artist are textured and fanciful, like sculptures from The Twilight Zone.
Judy Jensen
Resonance Studio, 1406 Smith, Unit D, www.judy-jensen.com
Jensen's arrangements of incongruous items hum with a dreamlike symbolism, and her technique of reverse painting on glass adds to their phantasmagorical feel.
