UGA 2011 MFA graduate An Pham is featured in the Atlanta Journal Constitution! Pham’s work is featured in Spruill Gallery’s “Emerging Artists 2011” show.  From the article: “The artist works with a wide palette of materials, from handmade paper and old books to plastic strips, scotch tape and – most wondrously in this exhibit — rubber bands. Pham crochets, plaits, knots, coils and otherwise manipulates this mundane item into mysterious sculptures, which she presents like the gifts they are in hand-made boxes. It’s a good thing that Pham wants you to touch them because they are irresistibly tactile. They also give off that rubber-band smell and, more profoundly, the feeling of intensity that comes from the hours of repetition and minute manipulations that making these works require. She manipulates books and their pages with similar inventiveness. I’m watching her.” Read the entire article here: http://www.accessatlanta.com/atlanta-events/lucha-rodriguez-at-swan-1143048.html Visit Pham’s website here: http://www.an-pham.com/
