Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – The Trutter Museum & Murray Gallery at Lincoln Land Community College will host the exhibit “Echo” featuring sculptural work by Amir Hamamy Roosi.

The public is invited to view the exhibit weekdays from 8am–4pm September 29–October 31. The museum and gallery are located on the upper level of Menard Hall on the LLCC Springfield campus, 5250 Shepard Road.

“Echo” brings together sculptures from several bodies of work created while the artist examined the form and function of man-made optical tools. Roosi uses wood, glass and foil printed surfaces to reflect ideas about how we see and understand the world both through science, geometry and cultural perspective.

The exhibition is arranged so that viewers experience the evolution of these ideas, beginning on the left as they enter the gallery and circling the large centerpiece clockwise. Every work incorporates a “viewfinder” element referencing its original optical model. Roosi’s work has been exhibited in shows around the Midwest.

An artist discussion will be held Thursday, October 9 at 12:30 pm in the museum/gallery.
