"Annie's Shrine" by Barbara WF Miner<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cConversations While on Leave: Recent Works by Debra A. Davis and Barbara WF Miner\u201d is on display through Sunday, Feb. 8, in the Center for the Visual Arts Gallery on UT\u2019s Toledo Museum of Art Campus.<\/p>\n

Davis, professor and chair of art, said part of their conversations revolved around how their artwork has changed over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy work has shifted toward an examination of time and motion. I am interested in noticing the discarded and simple,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Davis explained the process behind her works featured in the exhibit: \u201cI engaged in walks where I would record my walking by taking 20 paces and then photographing in front of myself and to the left and right. I am taking the many images that comprise the process and combining them into a single image for front, left and right, which contain the entire mile and a half. So time is condensed into one image that contains the entire process, rather than through a series of images presented in a linear fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

"Inheritance" by Debra A. Davis<\/p><\/div>\n

Miner, associate professor of art, spent three weeks as an artist in residence at the Ox-Bow artists colony in Saugatuck, Mich.<\/p>\n

\u201cI spent 12 to 14 hours a day in the wonderful studio they provided, just working and thinking and drawing,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was a profoundly important time and it moved my work forward rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both women communicated with each other about their works while on leave.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about being artists. We talked about our own separate ideas and how to embody them,\u201d Miner said. \u201cWhat you will see in this exhibition is an ongoing dialogue, a conversation, between each of us and our own artwork.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gallery hours are Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.<\/p>\n
