Featured Artist: Scott Curtis Machina Design produces paintings, prints, furniture, and sculpture. The studio's work can be seen online at www.machinadesign.com. "I've always been fascinated by what time and "damage" does to images and objects, and so I like to experiment with materials that can accelerate or simulate age and deterioration. I'm building a portfolio of new objects that explore how applications and processes like caustic agents, acids, and sandblasting interact with more traditional materials like gouache, acrylic, inks, dye transfers, and encaustic. Regardless of the subject or the medium, I want my work to strike a chord in the viewer with something in memory, probably something that's been lost. I don't want to represent just a face or a figure, and although I want to avoid simple nostalgia and sentimentality, I do try to evoke memories that feel like a reaching back - for something infused with desire, maybe of what life was and may be again." |

Miss your teddy bear, but think you're too old for a
replacement? Yuri, the ultimate living, breathing furry
hunk of love and affection, is waiting to be your best
friend and constant companion. A good-natured
goofball, he loves hanging out with his foster mom
and playing with his toys and his foster mates. Yuri is
housebroken and gets along well with other dogs. Not
sure about cats - he may be a little too interested in
them. Heartworm negative, neutered and vaccinated,
Yuri would love a home with a fenced yard and
another playmate or two or a human who is home a
good bit of the time. With his plush coat and beautiful
plumey tail, Yuri is not for those bothered by fur
bunnies! For adoption, contact C.A.R.E. at
www.chathamanimalrescue.org or 542-5757.
Join
the Chatham County Animal Shelter in celebrating June as ADOPT-A-SHELTER-CAT
month! We have wonderful cats and kittens of all
personalities, colors and sizes who urgently need loving homes.
