'Two Artists in Three Dimensions' exhibit featured at Women's Center

     The Cuninggim Women's Center at Vanderbilt opened its first
art exhibit for the spring semester Jan. 10 with a show featuring
two female artists.
     The exhibit features clay works by Lecturer in Fine Arts
Susan DeMay and enamel on copper by artist Carole Robinson, who
lives in Santa Fe, N.M.
     DeMay lives and operates a studio in Smithville. With the
help of a partner and assistants, she creates functional,
decorative stoneware pottery and other artistic forms in clay. All
DeMay's work employs the use of colorful and unique glazes, a
style for which her art is most recognizable. Most recently her
work has evolved into a series of abstracts with sculptured edges. 
     Robinson's work is enamel on copper, the process of fusing by
fire glass and metal. The enamels are high fired in a kiln and
multi-layered; many pieces are fired 20 to 30 times. She uses
inlays of gold and silver, limoge, straffito, sifting and painting
techniques with enamel powders and pigments. The circle is the
significant form of Robinson's work because of its symbolic
connotations.
     "Two Artists in Three Dimensions" will be on display through
March 1, with an artists' reception Thursday, Jan. 18, from 5 to 6
p.m. at the Cuninggim Center, which is located in the Franklin
Building, 316 West Side Row.
