inda Zalla's newest paintings and
collages have to do with aging
— in people and in structures.
"Adventure" shows a man lost in
thought, the lines in his face copied
somewhat in the background and the
whiteness of his hair and short beard
also copied somewhat in the mist
behind him.
"Back in Time" captures a seasoned
building fronted by a long flight of
stairs, both covered in part by a cloud-
like film.
The two images are part of Zalla's

exhibit "Remember ... Respect ... and
Record," which will be on view Sept.
10-Oct. 8 at the Cary Gallery in
Rochester. She has promised one project
from the series to Kadima, an organiza-
tion that assists the mentally ill.
"I think it's important to pay more
attention to the past," says Zalla, 63,
of Bloomfield Hills, whose interest in
time gone by was nurtured through
involvement with the Jewish Historical
Society and trips to the ancient areas
of Israel, Greece and Turkey.
"The faces of our elderly embody
emotions and histories of their indi-
vidual lives, and I imagine the amaz-

ing stories that they reflect. I also am
fascinated by the aging facades of
buildings and the layers of history
inherent in them, and I'd like to see
them renovated and restored to their
original glory."
Zalla, who likes to bring texture to
her paintings, creates layers that relate
to both the levels of memory and the
levels of structures built up and
changed through generations.
The artist earned her bachelor's
degree from Wayne State University
and her master's at the College for
Creative Studies in Detroit. She has
participated in solo and group exhibi-
tions locally and in other states and is
represented in business col-
lections, such as the
Sheraton Oaks Hotel in
Novi and Kimberly Jewelers
in Troy.
"I like water media
because I think the fluidity
conveys more emotions and
feelings," says the artist, who
works out of a home studio
and travels with a sketchpad.
"I burn the edges of paper
that I use to build layers to
give old-world or antique
effects."
Zalla defines the elderly as
those having reached their
80th birthday. She defines
ancient buildings as those
over 100 years old.
"None of my work is totally literal,"
she says. The past is cloudy and so
my images are blurred." ❑
