Some artists can express their ideas and emotions without having to create sculptures larger than life. Such is the case with the Sixth International Shoebox Sculpture Exhibition at the University of Hawai'i Art Gallery. The exhibit has attracted artists from Hawai'i and the mainland, as well as the China, Australia, Colombia, Japan, Senegal and Wales. Working in a small scale while maintaining sculptural integrity is a challenge addressed in a variety of ways by these artists.
Several works reflect the cultural heritage of the artist while others are universal in expression.
The exhibition at the UH Art Gallery runs through April 18th and is scheduled to travel to 15 other venues on the Mainland and Guam. This is the University Report, I'm Tracy Orillo Donovan.
