Creatures in Stone and Steel by Claire Hendry Foster ’08
A biology and classics major, this recent alumna also pursued steel and stone sculpture at Union. Her work in this exhibition draws from all of her studies, merging science, art and craft to produce elegant and powerful organic works in steel. Featured are six sketches and four sculpture works. She has said she creates sculptures as “a way to make the images and creatures of my imagination into a reality." A closing reception is set for Thursday Nov. 5, 4:30–6 p.m. in the Wikoff Student Gallery, sponsored by the Visual Arts Department.
