Different medias at AI's Gallery
The exhibit shows the final works of the Masters Program.

Marie Mercano presents calligraphic work on various medias. She unfolds symbols and graphics on a white accordion-like paper. She prints on metallic paper. She draws on heavy papers that seem to be suspended close to the wall and she also draws on little white papers, all framed close to each other, on a rectangle grind. She seems to explore calligraphy and the way to display it as well.

Neisha Reddie's pieces show beautiful people body's sculpture. They seem to be casted in a horizontal resting position, which creates a strange feeling when seen hung on the wall. Since they are human figure models, the viewer might want to relate to it in a physical level, being able to walk trough the back of it, but this is not possible because the casting is limited to the front part. The pieces are made of plaster together with transparent colored resin. It's nice to see the two materials merging, how the transparent blue resin gets darker when there's more amounts of it, and lighter when it's close to the white plaster. It would be exiting to see the two materials mix and relate a little more.

Leaves and branches always display engaging shapes and attractive curves. Gita Shonek took advantage of this on her series of sculptures. On one of her pieces, she chose a dried palm tree branch and accentuated its curves with the help of some ropes, creating an antithesis between the arcs of the branch and the straightness of the lines. The piece is placed over some sand, so carefully placed that makes one see it as added. Shonek finds the most beautiful leaves to work with, they are already so simple and have so many details at the same time that there might be no need to tie ropes through them.
