Bloomin' Art
A new gallery blossoms with the handmade-paper
and ceramic sculptures of artist Miriam Bloom.
SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to the Jewish News
WI
iriam Bloom, who
shapes handmade paper
into durable and usually
whimsical-seeming
sculptural forms, will be one of two
artists in the first show at Grey
Gallery, which opens June 2 in down-
town Detroit.
The show, titled "24-7-365" to repre-
sent the daily grind, runs through July 15.
"I'll be showing seven sculptures —
three made out of handmade paper
and four made out of terra cotta," says
Bloom, 52, who was born in Chicago,
lived in Detroit in the 1970s and now
makes her home in New York.
"I've chosen to work in paper
because it's extremely strong and light-
weight. It's made out of materials like
linen, the same kind of materials used
by Egyptians thousands of years ago
and still seen in museums."
Make No Bones II, for example,
shaped like an hourglass, reaches a
height of 4 feet and has white writing
on a black background. The script,
appearing to be from the 17th century,
isn't meant to be read. The writing,
which alludes to the power of secrets,
seeks to express the power of the writ-
ten word.
Bloom, who earned her bachelor's
degree from Brandeis University and
two master's degrees from the
University of Iowa, has shown her
work in galleries around New York
and in the Midwest. She came to the
attention of the Grey Gallery owner
during an exhibit at another art space
in downtown Detroit.
"What I like about the Grey Gallery
is an immediate connection with the
idea that there are shades of 0-ray in
this world," Bloom says. "Things are
not simple, and they're not just black
and white.
. 'All of my work is about ambiguity
and has to be multidimensional in
what it's communicating. Those are
my main criteria for whether the work
is good or not. Other concerns include
humor because that aspect of life
allows us to keep going."
