    Two long-time professors of sculpture, Ellen Lowenstein (Skyline College) and Leon Kortenkamp (Notre Dame de Namur University) present their current work in the Rotunda Gallery for six months, May through October. Ellen Lowenstein is showing recently completed works in marble, ZZuut and Reaching for a Fig. They offer a dramatic contrast: ZZuut is fairly abstract and was carved in Belgian black marble, considered the most difficult to work with. Reaching... is delicate, lyrical, realistic, and carved in white Carrara marble. Leon Kortenkamp's new work plays with the mundane, often taking the form of ceramic recreations of shelves of canned fruit in Mason jars. Kortenkamp describes them as mixed media assemblage involving wood, found objects, and ceramic castings. According to Kortenkamp, "ordinary objects and everyday events are deeply charged with spiritual reality".

    Ironically, Kortenkamp earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, where he studied under Will Barnet, Waldemar Otto, and Marc Chagall. Ellen Lowenstein was featured (along with Ray Lorenzato) in the inaugural Rotunda Gallery exhibition. This time her work is much more introspective. She says, "Much of the sculpture that I make is based on a pressing impulse, a need to bring a form into being...I often have no knowledge of what it means...the image...is disguised, really, with elements from my outer life, experiences, memories, longings, other works of art, shapes and colors."
