Mobiles and watercolors. Watercolors and mobiles. Typically neither of these things is like the other. Lori Fox is best known for painting watercolor faces that fuse together free-form themes, pitting that which is solar against that which is lunar. Here, Corie Humble, who’s been a leather accessories designer for 15 years, delves into sculpture while keeping an eye on her mobile designs. They play with weight and movement, which sounds like gravity. Outer space has gravity. Perhaps these things are like each other after all.

Crow Collection of Asian Art
2010 Flora St.
On view beginning 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday
The exhibit runs through the beginning of 2018, but be a trendsetter and catch the opener. It’s a collection of paintings and prints created during the Edo period (between 1603 and 1868) in Japan. The show will include hanging scrolls and screens, which were displayed in people’s homes, alongside woodblock prints, which were mass-produced by commoners in Japan.
Closing: Justin Clumpner – Sacred
Kettle Art
2650-B Main St.
Closes Saturday
Justin Clumpner is an artist and an art teacher at Rockwall High School. He also champions the importance of Dallas art educators in laying the framework for their students’ lives. Employing newspapers and advertisements, he paints and collages narratives that usually skew toward the religious. It’s worth noting that Kettle Art owner Frank Campagna is perhaps Clumpner’s biggest fan.
