Ruth Laskey's recent weavings highlight her continued investigation of movement through thread and loom. Laskey implements incremental angles into her twill work to create the illusion of fluid, curving lines within gridded patterns. Dedicated to tactile construction, Laskey utilizes both twill and plain weave patterns to create subtle spacial movements and color gradients.

Adaline Kent's sculptures and drawings were inspired by her time hiking in the High Sierras. Kent's vast body of work captures elemental movements through biomorphic shapes and forms. Kent is a pioneer of the mid-century modernist aesthetic. Her work includes a diverse range of imagery from infinity symbols to mountains, streams and trees.

Ruth Asawa's organic wire sculptures challenge conventional notions of material and form through their emphasis on lightness and transparency. She considered her wire sculptures to be three-dimensional line drawings in space. Though she was twenty six years younger than Adaline Kent, the two artists were friends and both studied with master calligrapher Hodo Tobase.
