4worldlovers: Sages honors nineteen Southern Californian artists who have both practiced and taught art throughout their long careers. Widely acclaimed as art-makers, their parallel commitment to education is relatively unrecognized. Some, like Connie Jenkins and Jim Morphesis, have taught at the university and junior college level. John M. White taught at the high school level and Gerri McMillin has had an alternative teaching career, offering periodic workshops rather than institutionalized classes.

Alexander-Clarke enjoys silence and solitude. She is a private person, never feeling like she fit into a culture. When she came to the United States at the end of her childhood, she began to see the world differently. She soon realized that everyone has perceptual limits, and that her own view seemed small, and somewhat limited. Alexander-Clarke's video work incorporates this perspective, presenting small fragments of nature and our surroundings. They are, however, just marks on a greater canvas, signifying the vastness of space as a metaphor for the unknowable and incomprehensible.


Hand embroidery typically conjures up images of docile women, silently working on their expected domestic duties through their needle work. This traditionally feminine medium was once seen as an indicator of marriage suitability, teaching ideas of modesty, virtue, and obedience. Artist Orly Cogan reclaims the medium, using vintage fabrics as a foundation for her hand stitched explorations of modern women.
