UTAH COUNTY
Harold B. Lee Library (Brigham Young University Campus) UP: Continuation of the Trail, an exhibition of work by Sandy Brunvand is now on display in the Auditorium Gallery, on the first level, through the end of November. The University of Utah art professor and co-founder of Saltgrass Printmakers, Brunvand enjoys treks into Utah’s wildlands and her art is a representation of what she sees as the co-existence of life and death found in the many forms of plant life along the trails. “Fragile plant forms draw my attention more than the grand vistas,” she says about her excursions. “I want somehow to evoke a sense of movement and continuity from this life on earth evolving, or dissolving, into a state of non-being after life is ended.” Those plants, represented in her paintings, show that delicate but essential balance of the two spheres of being. Some of her artwork also includes inorganic items she has found in the otherwise natural environment, such as hairpins and metal fragments that might seem out of place but are what Brunvand considers “icons of the trail.” To her, they represent the wholeness of existence and part of the nature of the journey through life (see our June edition for a review of Brunvand's work).

ALSO: In the Hallway Gallery, Remnants an exhibit of multiple paintings of colorful clothing by Sarah Cannon Lowe through November 29th. Cannon depicts the clothes as tangible evocations of the stories lived out by the people who wore them. “Clothing is one of the unique remnants left behind when people pass away,” Lowe says. “These intimate and personal belongings give insight into the lives of those who wore them.”

Gallery OneTen UP: Art Exhibit and Auction to Benefit Huntington’s Disease Research: Art by James Rees and Sarah Barley. Huntington’s Disease is a devastating, hereditary, degenerative brain disorder for which there is, at present, no effective treatment or cure. Artist Sarah Barley, hopes there will be a cure in her lifetime as she has loved ones affected by the disease. “I believe that in life we need to ‘put up our dukes’ and fight for the things we believe in. I think God will inspire and help along the way, but we need to get up, stand up and do our part.” When Provo High School art teacher, James Rees, learned that Barley was organizing the benefit art auction and raffle, he jumped at the chance to contribute. The public is strongly encouraged to attend the opening reception on Friday, November 3, from 6 to 9 p.m.
