UC San Diego, in collaboration with the MCASD, will host a special lecture as part of the Russell Lecture series, with guest speaker and artist June Edmonds. June Edmonds uses abstract painting to explore how color, repetition, movement, and balance can serve as conduits to spiritual contemplation and interpersonal connection to her African-American roots. Exploring the psychological construct of skin color or tone through pattern and abstract painting has proven to be a revealing gesture and these ideas are explored in her two ongoing series: the Energy Wheel Paintings inspired by her meditation practice and her Flag Paintings, which explore the alignment of multiple identities such as race, nationality, gender, or political leanings. Date | Wednesday, October 27 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Location | Online Register here! Registration is free. The Russell Foundation was established in the will of Betty Russell, one of MCASD's founding docents and a long-time supporter of UC San Diego.
