Gifts of Art presents Dr. Snowflake Retrospective: Recreation, Holidays & Beyond
by Thomas L. Clark

As a part of the University of Michigan bicentennial celebration, this year’s exhibition of Dr. Thomas L. Clark’s exquisite, hand-cut paper creations has a historical perspective. Clark, a former U-M physician, began making pictorial paper snowflakes in 1984, and his first exhibit of these intricate works was at the University of Michigan Rackham Building in 1987, entitled A Hundred Holiday Snowflakes. Works from that show as well as from his first exhibit at the University Hospital in 1988 (including dinosaurs, clowns and patriotic themes) are on display in this retrospective exhibit. The annual free snowflake making workshop will be held on Thursday, January 5 from 12:00-2:00 p.m. in the Gifts of Art Gallery – Taubman Health Center North Lobby, Floor 1.
