Such is the focus of artist Jenny Robinson’s “Structural Anatomies,” now on display at the Cabrillo Gallery at Cabrillo College in Aptos. The collection of large-scale prints explores the frameworks of everything from bridges to water towers, roller coasters to zeppelins through printmaking. Robinson is a Bay Area artist who regularly teaches work- shops out of her San Francisco studio, Kala Art Institute in Berkeley and the San Francisco Center for the Book. Her work has been included in various prominent collections including the Library of Congress Fine Prints Collection in Washington D.C. and Arts Council of Great Britain in London. With “Structural Anatomies,” Robinson brings her work to Cabrillo College for a solo ex- hibition. “The pieces are just beautiful,” said Program Coordinator Victo- ria May. “They sort of honor the past industrial age of design — some of these types of structures are not so common anymore.” Robinson’s prints are cre- ated using cardboard plates as opposed to metal, making them somewhat unique in the printmaking world. This dis- tinction was one reason why Program Instructor Beverly Rayner wanted to bring Rob- inson’s work to Cabrillo, May explained. One of Robinson’s cardboard plates will even be on display for people to see how they’re made. “Our mission is always edu- cation,” May said. “Jenny is a very resourceful and inventive artist, and seeing her work may expose students to different ways of working.” A big draw to the exhibit is the sheer size of many of the pieces. One artwork actually reaches around 8-by-6-feet. De- spite this, because of the mate- rials and techniques Robinson uses, they aren’t overwhelming or cumbersome, May said. “Structural Anatomies” will run through Oct. 26 at the Ca- brillo Gallery, located in library room 1002 on the Cabrillo Col- lege campus at 6500 Soquel Drive in Aptos. An artist’s recep- tion is planned for Oct. 17 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the gallery, with a talk by Robinson following. Cabrillo Gallery will also offer a drop-in activity in the college quad on Thursday from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m., where people can learn about how plates made from cardboard work and create their own samples.

Structural frameworks explored in new art exhibition

By JOHANNA MILLEROF THE REGISTER-PAJARONIAN

APTOS — Beneath every successful structure lies an in-tricate framework which holds everything together.

Such is the focus of artist Jenny Robinson’s “Structural Anatomies,” now on display at the Cabrillo Gallery at Cabrillo College in Aptos. The collection of large-scale prints explores the frameworks of everything from bridges to water towers, roller coasters to zeppelins through printmaking.

Robinson is a Bay Area artist who regularly teaches work-shops out of her San Francisco studio, Kala Art Institute in Berkeley and the San Francisco Center for the Book. Her work has been included in various prominent collections including the Library of Congress Fine Prints Collection in Washington D.C. and Arts Council of Great Britain in London.

With “Structural Anatomies,” Robinson brings her work to Cabrillo College for a solo ex-hibition.

“The pieces are just beautiful,” said Program Coordinator Victo-ria May. “They sort of honor the past industrial age of design — some of these types of structures are not so common anymore.”

Robinson’s prints are cre-ated using cardboard plates as opposed to metal, making them somewhat unique in the printmaking world. This dis-tinction was one reason why Program Instructor Beverly Rayner wanted to bring Rob-inson’s work to Cabrillo, May explained. One of Robinson’s cardboard plates will even be on display for people to see how they’re made.

“Our mission is always edu-cation,” May said. “Jenny is a very resourceful and inventive artist, and seeing her work may expose students to different ways of working.”

A big draw to the exhibit is the sheer size of many of the pieces. One artwork actually reaches around 8-by-6-feet. De-spite this, because of the mate-

rials and techniques Robinson uses, they aren’t overwhelming or cumbersome, May said.

“Structural Anatomies” will run through Oct. 26 at the Ca-brillo Gallery, located in library room 1002 on the Cabrillo Col-lege campus at 6500 Soquel Drive in Aptos. An artist’s recep-tion is planned for Oct. 17 from 5:30-7 p.m. at the gallery, with a

Oscar season is upon us, and that is very appar-ent after watching “A

Star is Born.”After spending the last nine

months watching Tom Cruise jump off buildings, Jason Sta-tham punch a shark and Josh Brolin play a pair of CGI vil-lains — both performances were better than they had any right being, for what it’s worth — Bradley Cooper’s (“Ameri-can Sniper,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) directorial debut serves as a reminder of what makes movies great.

“A Star is Born,” a fourth re-make of the 1937 film, forgets the fluff of summer popcorn flicks, and brings the human experience to the forefront. Cooper, who also stars along-side singer-turned-actress Lady Gaga, isn’t afraid to go wherever the story needs to, and that freewheeling approach produces some of the most uncomfortable and organic moments in cinema this year.

Cooper plays Jack, a trou-bled and alcoholic rockstar trying to survive through an era of music that seems to care more about butts than the art itself — at least in his eyes. After stumbling into a bar following a sold-out gig, he lays eyes on Lady Gaga’s Ally, an undiscovered and meek yet talented singer. The two hit it off, and begin a journey of ups and downs that are all-too familiar in today’s pop culture.

Cooper is, well, Cooper. He’s often left out of the best-actor-working-today conversation, but he deserves to be men-

tioned in the same breath with Damon, Leo, Oldman, Bale, Hanks and Denzel. He and Gaga have a natural chemistry that carries the movie, and makes the musical portions hit. Sam Elliot, Anthony Ramos and Dave Chappelle also give solid performances and never overstay their welcome.

“A Star is Born” is not a new concept, but that does not stop it from feeling fresh. It’s not hard to predict the twists and turns Cooper wants to take from scene to scene, but the delivery hardly ever feels forced. A five-minute conversation between Ally and Jack in their bathroom carries as much weight — if not more — as Iron-Man trying to stop the end of the galaxy. I missed this.
