SUMMARY:Art As Inspiration for Blair G. Ewing Students
DESCRIPTION:The Blair G. Ewing Center is MCPS’s Alternative Education Program\, designed to serve students with a variety of learning and social emotional needs. John Charles\, art teacher at the center\, has spent the past several years crafting the visual arts program to allow the students to express their creativity and emotions while also fulfilling their art credit requirements. The classes “blend several studio media\, printmaking\, sculpture\, photography and digital arts” says Charles\, whose own background in silk-screening encourages the students to layer drawings and photographs with abstract elements to create multimedia compositions. The January show will feature large- and small-scale prints from current students and recent alumni.

SUMMARY:SUTRA by Deborah Tomlin
DESCRIPTION:In 2022\, Deborah Tomlin was diagnosed with breast cancer from a routine mammogram. She underwent treatment\, which consisted of three different surgeries including a bilateral mastectomy. In SUTRA\, Tomlin chooses to paint her scars and unfamiliar body and to examine the healing process through her art. As Audre Lorde expresses\, in The Cancer Journals\, “Any woman who has had a breast removed because of cancer knows she does not feel the same. But we are allowed no psychic time or space to examine what our true feelings are\, to make them our own. With quick cosmetic reassurance\, we are told that our feelings are not important\, our appearance is all\, the sum total of self.” \nThe title SUTRA in sanskrit means to stitch\, to mend\, to bring together\, to heal. This body of work drew Tomlin to a more abstract approach to painting and drawing including the layering of collage materials and stitching directly on the canvas. Text based on comments by doctors and friends during her treatment is also significant to this work. Painting on top of overflowing and overlapping text expresses Tomlin’s grief and anger. Stitching directly on the canvas with yarn and thread reframes her sutures and scars through the lens of darning and mending\, traditionally women’s work\, transforming an object ripped and torn into a material stronger and more beautiful by the act of repair. \nVisit The Writer’s Center for open hours.
