Troy Library Plans D isplays Gerald Mulka is the artist of the month at the Troy Public Library exhibiting his works of woodcut artistry through July 30. Mr. Mulka started exhibiting in 1979 and the 18 pieces of art displayed at the library cover a decade of work from 1984 to 1994. To work in this technique he draws a composition on a block of wood; then using knives and chisels he removes the wood sur- face between the drawn lines. The raised surfaces which remain after the cutting are then inked and pressed against paper re- sulting in the desired print. Capturing people in various phases of work and play is a fas- cination of Troy woodcarver Ray Ottjepica. A display of his work runs through July 29 at the Troy Public Library. The woodcarvings cover the gamut of the American experi- ence from the hunter in the woods to the Civil War era. Mr. Ottjepica's carvings display the jazz musician entertaining, the fisherman's catch of the day, the town sheriff protecting his ter- ritory and the Native American warrior. Mr. Ottjepica displays 13 pieces of art which highlight the lifestyles of early Americans 'engaged in war and daily chores. During July at the Troy Pub- lic Library, the Detroit Puppet Guild will display a collection of puppets by its vice-president 3lect, the late Michael Joly.
