SLU'S BRUSH GALLERY EXHIBITING PRINTS BY MELANIE YAZZIE

CANTON - An exhibition of prints by Melanie Yazzie, titled "Untold Stories of My Present, Past and Dreamtime" will be held at the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University from Thursday, November 10, through Saturday, December 10. Yazzie will give a lecture on her work on Thursday, December 1, at 4:30 p.m. in Room 123 of the Griffiths Arts Center. It is open to the public, free of charge.

An assistant professor at the University of Arizona's School of Art, Yazzie has also taught at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and and the Pont-Aven School of Art in France.

She states, "My work speaks about travel and transformation. The insects and bugs of the Tucson desert have inspired me within the past two years to make many prints. I also use images or symbols from different places I have been to. I also work in clay and make pieces that portray little animals that have taken on the personalities of different people I have known in life."

For more information, or to arrange individual or group tours, contact the gallery at 315-229-5174.
