Two of Jonah’s works have been selected for “The Art of Materials,” the next group exhibition at the Petaluma Arts Center (PAC). The show goes from May 9 – June 22. Opening Reception is Thursday, May 9, 5:30-7:30pm at the Petaluma Arts Center located at 230 Lakeville Street in Petaluma!

This exhibition brings together artists who are working with paper, fabric, industrial felt, metal, steel, cement, clay, plastic, cork, and wood. Some of the artists combine disparate materials that embody imaginative content or reuse materials that create symbolic forms. Others opt for a single material that gives full voice to their artistic expression.

As curators, The Art of Materials exhibition has two major questions which are the central topic of consideration:  why an artist chooses the material used in their artwork and how the selection of that material reflects what the artist wants to say.

Participating Artists: Mari Andrews (steel and wire); David Duskin (steel); Sofia Gonzalez (fabric); Brooke Holve (paper); C.K.Itamura (plastic); Byron B. Kim (paper); Lisa Kokin (industrial felt); Bebe Kuhr (reed and stone); Rachel Leibman (reuse materials); Jann Nunn (cork and paper); Shoji Uemura (clay and cement); Jonah Ward (wood); Susan Wolsborn (cement)
