Lotte Streisinger will talk about her art and have two of her books that will be on sale. Her first book, From the Sidelines, is about the Institute of Molecular Biology at the UO, where her husband, George Streisinger, was a pioneering molecular biologist and co-founder of the Institute. It takes the reader behind the scenes as a scientific revolution unfolds.
The second book, The Potter and the Muse, is about her work as a long time potter and presents a lively, informative, and original discussion of the creative process illustrated through the medium of clay. It is based on Streisinger's studio notebooks and those she has been keeping about nature and travel.
Streisinger's exhibit "Arts and Letters" presents both her original prints and how Portland book designer, Chris Michel, manipulated these prints into book illustrations. Also on view will be a print series, "The Months," which the artist worked on while waiting for her second book to be published.
