TWO-PERSON EXHIBITION
"DREAMSCAPE"
Aug 28 - Oct 13
​
Cathy Jacobs and Luzhen Qiu have teamed up again for this very contemplative and ethereal exhibition of their work. Both artists works evoke emotion through the layering of semi-transparent elements. Luzhen works in the two-dimensional realm of sumi ink monoprints and collages, while Cathy works in the three-dimensions of fibers and weaving.

PUBLIC ART IN ANN ARBOR, MI
UNIVERSE, CMYK
A Public Installation in the Aquarium Gallery
November 21 - December 16
I created a temporary art installation called "Universe, CMYK" for the Ann Arbor Art Center's Aquarium Gallery. I used layers of fiberglass screening. The color of each panel of screening was affected by the panel behind it. Seen up close, this work was delicate and ethereal. However, when seen from a distance, the simple geometric design created a bold image.

REVIEW
AnnArbor.com reviews Memory, Time, and Private Spaces
John Carlos Cantu writes, "…Cathy Jacobs paints as though her pigments have creativity independent of her hand," and, "she gives us just enough information for our imagination to work in tandem with her own."
