Also an update on the CD project! I am in pre-production on the upcoming CD, tenatively titled Crooked Roads, by We're aiming for a March release. Stay tuned for details and click on his name for a link to his website. Or visit his myspace page to hear some of the songs: www.myspace.com/gregpaulsound

“ …time is memory, capable of moving forward and backward. …she tries to conquer time by quantifying it: rigorously tabulating the many hours, days, weeks and months spent in the minute details that add up to a finished work… These obsessive observations are all ways of considering time, so that as if by quantifying how it passes, she can stop it, or at least hold it at bay.” — Terrie Sultan
Elizabeth Switzer has installed a series of imprints she made with tea over the course of 12 days as a systematic act of recording time and as a personal rumination of the past. She writes: "I am systematically recording and marking the passage of time through the act of drinking tea. Each work records a moment, some with company, many alone. Sometimes the tea is for relaxation, sometimes it is for energy, sometimes to calm my stomach, but in the end they all become the same, stains on paper, an echo of moments past." Switzer, who has taught drawing and photography, earned her Master of Fine Arts degree at the State University at Buffalo. Until recently she served as Director of Programming at Rochester Contemporary gallery, and she has exhibited her work in solo and group shows at galleries in Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. Currently, she works in the Creative Services Department at the George Eastman House. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact the gallery at (585) 275-4476 Note to editors: A digital image from this exhibit can be e-mailed to you. Please call (585) 275-4128 or send your request to MEDIA CONTACT: Heather Layton (585) 275-3832, hlayton@mail.rochester.edu or Sharon Dickman (585) 275-4128, sdickman@rochester.edu.
