Homework as muse? It
is for local artist Scott
Sueme, who finds inspi-
ration in methods of cat-
aloguing and study. He
describes the process as
“homework,” which also,
incidentally, is the title
of his exhibit at Kimoto
Gallery (to Jun. 9; page
48). That doesn’t mean
Sueme’s vibrant pieces
are all work and no play:
shape and colour interact
brightly with one another,
recalling elements of
20th-century design and
modernism. Head to the
gallery to see works like
“Rock Samples Under
Microscope” (pictured).
And don’t worry, there’s
no quiz afterwards.
