SSH Gallery Exhibit “Nine by Nine: Designing Words”
“Nine by
Nine: Designing Words,” a collaborative exhibit by student designers and poets
at Linn-Benton Community College, is on view in the college’s South SantiamHall Gallery May 21 through June 8.
An opening
reception will be held on Tuesday, May 22, at 3:30 p.m. in the SSH Gallery,
6500 Pacific Blvd. SW, Albany.
The exhibit
showcases the illustrations of nine graphic design students who created their
work in response to nine original poems written by student and faculty poets.
The show pairs the illustrations with the poems that inspired each of them, and
the poetry itself has been lettered for display by the design students.
“It is a
pleasure and an honor to combine our word craft with the fine work of the
graphic design students,” said Ruth Krueger, LBCC’s student poet laureate. “We
hope the combined art stirs within the audience a desire to search for meaning,
to find life.”
Krueger, a resident of Lebanon, is one of the nine poets participating in the show. The others are Chris Riseley, Alison Ruch, Eliot Kurfman and J.D. Mackenzie, all of Corvallis; Neil Davidson and Robin Havenick of Albany; Patrick Misiti of Wren; and Dan Simmons of Lebanon.
The graphic
designers, all students of instructor John Aikman, are Adam Elveback, Laura
Magedanz, Daniel Quirk and Joanna Rosinska, all of Corvallis; Keith Folsom and
Rosanna Russell of Albany; Morgan Gregory of Shedd; John Kruskamp of Philomath;
and Jerral Murphy of Lebanon.
