Signature member Kim Kori exhibits at Alden B. Dow Museum of Science AWA Signature member Kim Kori’s unique amphibian sculptures are part of the exhibit at the Alden B. Dow Museum in Midland, MI. The purpose of the show is to bring awareness to the dwindling populations of certain frog species. The Alden B. Dow Museum of Science & Art’s mission is to bring the visual arts and sciences together to promote participation, appreciation, education and expression for both disciplines. Kori, who works entirely in bronze, is known for using pigments, dyes and colorful patinas that add a contemporary twist to her sculpture. Although she sculpts a variety of things, frogs and toads are among her favorite subjects. In fact, the model for Kori’s piece for the upcoming 17th Annual Member Show and Juried Competition, “Because of the Rain” (featured on the exhibit program below), lives in a terrarium in her studio. “All my work has a commonality about it – joy in nature,” self-taught sculptor Kori says, “people read a sense of fun and light-heartedness in it, I feel like that is my contribution to the world.” Kori’s work will be exhibited, along with a number of talented artists’ representations of amphibians, at the museum through May 18, 2014 (dates extended).
