Beyond Confines:
Works by Serdar Arat, Wendy Ide Williams, and Sandra Wimer

Opens January 22, 2003
Continues through March 2, 2003
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 25, 5-8 PM


Beyond Confines, features paintings, ceramics, and prints by three noted UAlbany alumni artists: Serdar Arat ’84, Wendy Ide Williams ’86, and Sandra Wimer ’90.

Arat’s powerful abstract paintings reference the polarities between the Turkish culture of his birth and the American culture he has assimilated since arriving in this country over twenty years ago. Williams’ vivid and fanciful paintings and functional ceramics are rendered in a whimsical manner that upon further investigation, reveal darker passages contained within a highly inventive and personal visual vocabulary. Wimer combines traditional and digital printmaking techniques to create enigmatic sky images that evoke memories of the expansive vistas she encountered growing up in the plains states.
