SUMMARY:Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings by Linda Kauss
DESCRIPTION:Join multidisciplinary artist Linda Kauss for an evening celebrating “Just Looking: A Collection of Drawings and Musings”\, a deeply personal work rooted in creative exploration and intuition. \n“Just Looking” began in 2005 as an exercise in creative play. With no set outcome in mind\, Kauss explored the movement of graphite and the subtle power of erasure\, allowing organic forms to emerge. The result is a series of unexpected\, evocative images—moments of discovery that have shaped her ongoing artistic practice. \nMeet the artist\, hear selected readings\, and view the artwork behind the book. Copies of “Just Looking” will be available for purchase and signing.
