Waubonsee Community College and the Art Department WAS pleased to announce an exhibition of work by visiting artist Sarita Westrup. Westrup GAVE a talk on October 5th at 2pm. Both the exhibition and the talk will took place in the Arrowhead Gallery located in the Dickson Building at our Sugar Grove Campus. All events were free and open to the public.
Sarita Westrup's artwork addresses the theme of border politics through the use of cement, reeds, and metal. Her basket-like forms are reminiscent of containers, and yet they convey a sense of free-flowing movement. Westrup's dynamic sculptural pieces explore her experiences crossing the border between Texas and Mexico.
