Luzene Hill, whose Now That the Gates of Hell Are Closed has been extended through January at Different Trains Gallery, gives an artist's talk at 3 p.m. December 7. The pointedly feminist drawings of women's legs (which one of Hill's college teachers termed "the gates of hell") in the front gallery are in sharp contrast to the small mythic homage to her Cherokee heritage in the back. Transparent to Transcendence consists of seven beeswax figures suspended from the ceiling in the shape of the Pleiades. They represent a legend in which seven female children accept a destiny of transformation into stars in the heavens.
