Black & Brown Artists Abstract Origins
Howard el-Yasin’s My Mother’s Hose hangs at one end of Orchid Gallery in The Lab at ConnCORP, redolent with associations without landing definitively on a single one.

Or, abstracted, it could be figures embracing one another. The associations multiply when we learn that the sculpture (as the name reveals) is made from pantyhose, but is stuffed with plastic, burlap, a boa, a cardigan sweater, and a cotton shirt. The sculpture is an act of preservation, but also transformation. There’s no one answer that brings it together.

To prepare to teach financial literacy, Conn. educators go back to school
Christian Sherrill was trying to corral the attention of 150 students wrapping up a classroom activity and chatting with each other about their results.
