A series of Capes |
| Notes: |
“Art is the consuming passion of my life. I have always tried to manifest my creative vision through a wide variety of media and a diversity of materials.
While the content I work with is abstract — stimulated by the environment, culture and my own feelings — my creations represent a lifetime’s worth of attention to fine art and the mastering of textile crafts.
As an artist I believe that by shaping works to be worn as art, I am blending creative vision into our everyday lives. To me, this represents the power and significance of art.”
This series of capes has taken years to realize. Each cape is reversible and alike only in size and basic form. Each surface is executed in different combinations of materials and fiber techniques rich with layers of meaning and detail.

Bandu Dunham - Glass Art |
| Notes: |
Arizona artist Bandhu Dunham always wanted to be a mad scientist or an alchemist. “By fifteen, I had an extensive chemistry lab. I thought the beakers at the hobby store were never cool-looking enough, so I taught myself the basics of lampwork glassblowing. Later, I dropped out of Chemical Engineering to become an artist.” Familiar with lampworking, it was natural for Bandhu to use glass to create his artworks.
Bandhu’s glass artworks include kinetic engines and marble machines as well as intricate sculptures that illustrate the paradoxical characteristics of the material: delicate and malleable yet strong and rigid.
The artist’s intent is to create a sense of wonder and mystique that invites the viewer to pause and delight in a playful moment.

from Airport Collection |
| Notes: |
Artists have been depicting animals in various ways since ancient times. Their animals may be a realistic depiction of a beloved family pet or exotic species. They may be playful and toy-like with wheels or a whimsical dog-pilot. Artists may illustrate a childhood memory or embellish an object with animal images. Whether they construct, print, sculpt or draw they show us hooves, paws, wings and claws.
This exhibition features 17 artworks from the airport’s broad and varied collection of more than 500 pieces.

Collection of Jan Musial |
| Notes: |
Jan Musial began collecting Navajo art 55 years ago, when he was ten years old. From reading Arizona Highways magazines, Jan learned about Navajo (Diné) artists and became fascinated with their artwork, particularly paintings, pottery and baskets.
Whenever possible, Jan buys his artwork directly from the artists themselves. He knows about 70 percent of the artists in his collection personally. The exhibition includes a few photographs Jan has taken of the artists when he has purchased artwork. He specializes in artwork from the 1930s to the present.
Through their art, Jan has learned to appreciate the Navajo heritage and the importance of preserving that heritage for generations to come.

Sculpture |
| Notes: |
Born in the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, Gedion Nyanhongo comes from a family of prominent sculptors. He now lives in Phoenix.
“All my stone pieces tell stories about life. In every piece there is a voice. I have come to understand and narrate it.
“I sculpt using traditional techniques and hand tools (i.e., hammer, chisel, rasp, file, sandpaper, etc.) and stones from Zimbabwe including Springstone and Opal Stone. The color and texture in the stone inspire me. When I look at a raw stone, I see what there is to reveal in each sculpture I create.
“One must be gentle with the stone for it to reveal its charm. I do not use machines when sculpting because they come in between and destroy my personal dialogue with the stones. When working, I always develop a collective focus that amplifies the intensity of feeling, inspiring reactions that come from the uncarved boulders. When I encounter difficult stones, I wait until they decide to speak to me and reveal their hidden beauty.”

| Description: |
paintings, prints, assemblages, collages |
| Notes: |
Letters, text and punctuation — the marks of language — are visual. Culture with its barrage of advertisements, consumer icons and sound bites has influenced these fine artists. Incorporating text and graphic elements, they add another layer of meaning to their art.
The artists have combined words with images or objects to create puns, suggest stories or to provoke thoughts. Hand-written, painted, printed or recycled, text has become an aesthetic quality. Literary marks are used as visual texture, pattern, rhythm and context — in other words, the language of artists.
