A Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a restful and peaceful holiday season. We’re back from Winter Recess. Our hours during the Intersession and Winter session are from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday. Regular semester hours will resume on Monday, January 23.

2023 is the Year of the Rabbit.

The images are from Sugiura Hisui: Image Collector. Hisui (1876-1965) was a Japanese artist and a practitioner of “zuan,” a traditional Japanese term for “design.” He created countless paintings reflecting his superb sense of design, but also left a wealth of other materials, including scrapbooks containing  magazine clippings, sketches, and his photographs that Hisui carefully selected, categorized, and glued onto pages. The artist used these’ scrapbooks as input and a resource for creating his work.
