...junior No. 5 Audrey Duboc bounced back from a loss on Saturday to top Gen Lessard in four games, 5-9, 9-5, 9-2, 9-3. Captain and No. 7 Allison Fast, who along with senior Laura Delano were playing in their final home dual match, beat Margaret Kent, 10-8, 9-1, 4-9, 9-5. “People really came out today and stepped up to the plate,” Fast said. “We took advantage of our talent and experience.” The Crimson’s only losses came...
...time travel and a cosmos full of parallel lives. One has its origins in a failed Hollywood A-list movie; the other comes from the alt-auteur world of the small comix press. The first, The Fountain, written by filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (?, Requiem for a Dream) and drawn by Kent Williams, arrived in late 2005 from Vertigo/DC in the form of a high-end, full color hardcover graphic novel (166 pages) with a price ($40) that reflects its luxurious production. The other book, Ganges #1 by Kevin Huizenga, co-published by Fantagraphics Books and Coconino Press, looks like an indie...
...band of soldiers in an assault on a huge Mayan temple thought to contain the Tree. As hundreds clash on the temple steps a stony-eyed Mayan priest tears the still-beating heart out of a Franciscan friar. It's an exciting sequence that takes best advantage of artist Kent Williams' ability to combine expressive, natural characterization with fantastically interpretive imagery. In a class with the mixed-media work of Bill Sienkiewicz (Electra: Assassin) and Dave McKean (Cages), Williams combines pen and ink with bursts of rich, painterly color. It's a style that best serves the most outrageous sequences...
...While Ganges and The Fountain may share similar themes, they do not share a similar look. Huizenga's drawing style doesn't remotely echo that of Kent Williams. Huizenga takes his cues from the likes of Harold Gray's "Little Orphan Annie," where simplified characters with dots for eyes live in pared-down environments. Touching on the Sunday comics as it does, Huizenga's artwork carries with it a sense of whimsy, while the single blue tone brings depth to the frames and gives them a cool atmosphere. The only point of comparison between the artists' styles is their...
...green celadon glaze of a Koryo Dynasty bowl or the elliptical lid of a Song court vessel, she found pieces of perfection - and the source of her art. It's a discovery wonderfully echoed in the show: to approach the retrospective you must first walk through the Kent Collection as the 19-year-old would have done, and if you look around carefully enough, you'll find some of Hanssen Pigott's pieces sitting in the cabinets as if they belonged there. It's a small but significant touch. In a prodigious and prolific career spanning 50 years, Hanssen Pigott...
