A few weeks ago I had the great pleasure of visiting with the faculty of the Department of Art at Azusa Pacific University—the only member of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities that that offers an M.F.A. in studio art. Among the exceptional artists and scholars I met was Joo Kim, a visiting scholar at APU this year, whose show "Recent Works" is at the university's Heritage Gallery through this week. Her handsewn works in linen and other fabric are both accessible and difficult explorations of pain, loss, separation, and redemption—very much worth a visit if you are near Azusa, California, in the next few days.
