Works of Artist & Sculptor Rebecca Seeman On View at Peeler Art Center, Aug. 24 - Sept. 28

August 16, 2016

A solo exhibition of the works of Cincinnati-based artist and sculptor Rebecca Seeman, Light Play, will be on display at DePauw University's Richard E. Peeler Art Center from August 24 – September 28. (at right: Blood Moon, detail, painted paperboard, mixed media, 45”x 45"x 2", 2016)

Seeman manipulates and arrays multiples of humble household castoffs. In repurposing them she creates aesthetic spaces using directed light and cast shadows to engage the walls’ dimensions and surfaces in collaboration with the objects. Despite the lack of overt physicality the works may have an imaginary spatial expanse that, with the points of light, may also suggest faraway astral bodies.

Seeman earned her B.A. from Albion College and an M.F.A. in sculpture from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She teaches sculpture courses at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, where she has also chaired the Foundations studio department and taught sculpture at The College of Wooster.  More recently she has completed collaborative outdoor public commissions in Cincinnati, including "Currents" (2012) on Fountain Square and "Water's Edge," at the Cincinnati Recreation Commission's Armleder Family Aquatic Center (2008).

The galleries at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center are open Monday-Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m. - 5 pm; and Sunday 1 – 5 p.m., and are closed during University breaks and holidays.  For more information, click here or email craighadley@depauw.edu.
