Minneapolis artist Kim Matthews’ work reflects a practice rooted in a long-term daily meditation practice, which she says began “an effort to translate experiences of expansiveness into visual form, mapping the development of consciousness."
Matthews will hold a public lecture about her work and process prior to the exhibit’s debut at 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17, in 116 Center for the Arts. An opening reception with the artist runs from 4-6 p.m. in the University Art Gallery on the main floor of the Center for the Arts. The show runs through Saturday, Nov. 8.
Matthews’ recent work incorporates a wide range of materials including cast paper, felt, vinyl, canvas or wood to create wall reliefs and free-standing sculpture. In defining her artistic process Matthews states, “In addition to materiality, process as meditation is a key element, as the repetitive creation of similar forms mimics mantra recitation, simultaneously marking and erasing time."

Regular gallery hours are noon-8 p.m. Mondays-Thursdays, noon-5 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, or when events are held in Toland Theatre or by appointment. Exhibits are free and open to the public.
The exhibition is funded by UW-L College of Liberal Studies and Student Association. For additional information, visit www.uwlax.edu/art or contact the gallery at 608.785.8230.
