Past Exhibitions

Enduring Transience

Recent works by Paducah School of Art instructors
Alison Hahn & John Hasegawa

November 14 - December 19

Enduring Transience, a two person exhibition, features digital

photographs by Alison Hahn and ceramic vessels by John Hasegawa.

Both Hahn and Hasegawa are instructors at the Paducah School of Art.

Artists' Reception: November 14, 5-7 p.m.

Alison Hahn's digital photographs are inspired by the Dutch Golden

Age paintings that explore the transient nature of life through

symbolism with hidden messages about mortality and the brevity

of life. Hahn's photographs in her Vanitas series are intended to

evoke similar emotions of drama, mystery, and awe found in

"Vanitas" still life paintings.

John Hasegawa's ceramic vessels reflect the arcane and spiritual

nature of the Mizusashi, Japanese ceremonial water jars. Like the

Mizusashi, the subtleness, the intentional imperfection, and the

gestures give each of his pots its own remark. The slashes and

marks that Hasegawa makes across the surfaces of his vessels

capture the energetic motion of transformation from a ball of

clay to a finished vessel.

"Coming into Tibet"

   I have had a long time appreciation for Tibet, and I have spent much time there. When I began traveling to Tibet, it was a very difficult place to visit; however, it is more fantastic than can be imagined. It is a land with a deeply religious people and immense contrast: snowy peaks and sand deserts, barren plateaus and forested mountains, empty expanses and crowded cities.

BiLan Liao: born in Hunan Province, China
