Replicas of some of the pieces she has created over the years have found their way into her home and garden, along with hand-carved and glazed pieces of sewer pipe. There are sewer pipes holding up her dining room table, and terra cotta flue liners

There are more of her signature pieces of sewer pipe INSPIRATION/page 2

– but they bear little resemblance to their original function. These pieces have been hand-carved, glazed and repurposed into highly decorative planters. “It’s very dry and leathery,” Cross said of the raw sewer pipe. “You can stand it up and carve it.” After carving one of the pipes with a grapevine motif and firing it, Cross ran a drain tube through the piece so water wouldn’t pool inside, then added some gravel for drainage and potting soil. Several of the more unusual planters in Cross’ yard were pieces she found in the Gladding, McBean yard. 2

“They look like mushrooms, but they actually were munitions bunker vent caps,” she said. “The fired clay was the only thing that wouldn’t disintegrate. I’m lucky because I get the chance to use things other people can’t.” The entire patio is paved with Gladding, McBean piazza tile. Sewer pipes make an appearance as one of the more striking elements of Cross’ back yard – a trellis fashioned of lengths of sewer pipe, topped with wood pediments. “My husband and my son built the frame, poured the cement and anchored 4-by-4s inside the pipes,” she said. Faced with the Herculean task of getting the pipes into place, Cross tapped her 6foot-4 son. “He actually had to get up

on a ladder and lift the pipes up,” she said. “It was payback for all those dinners I cooked him.” A piece of sewer pipe, carved with lotuses and glazed blue, draws the eye to the back wall, where it is set off by a treated and etched panel of copper, edged with glass mosaic. “It’s important to have a visual focus for the yard,” Cross explained. “I had never seen a piece of copper installed on a wall, but I wanted to bring that color in.” To created the etched look, Cross took an awl and dragged it along the copper. ”I got cramps in my hands,” she said. A bas-relief of a lion sits in the garden as well, as does a column capital from the

April, Inside Lincoln looks at ways to incorporate art into your home and garden. Features include a peek inside the home of local artist Joan Jordan and a garden profile that will have you looking at the lowly sewer pipe with new appreciation. Upcoming issues will continue Inside Lincoln’s new focus on homes and gardens, with profiles and helpful how-tos. May will focus more exclusively on gardens, with some handy tips on ridding your garden of pesticides and a feature on a notable local gardener. June will celebrate Father’s Day with a lighthearted look at manspaces. Inside Lincoln will continue some of its regular features, such as a quick pull-out of events occurring during the month, as well as A Look at Lincoln, a photographic essay of goings-on in town. Future plans could include starting a regular restaurant review column, as well as adding a monthly daytripper feature – a look at some travel adventures that are within a days’ travel distance from Lincoln. Please feel free to e-mail me at lizk@goldcountrymedia or call me at 774-7972 with story ideas, events and people deserving of community attention for future issues of Inside Lincoln. In particular, I am looking for nominations for homes and gardens that deserve the spotlight. Let me know what you think of the new look of Inside Lincoln – I welcome your comments!

STORY BY

ARTIST’S

HOME BECOMES ECLECTIC

Liz Kellar

oan Jordan is a force to be reckoned with on the local arts scene – she sits on the board of Lincoln Arts and teaches art classes locally. She also is a prolific collector of art – and her home in Sun City Lincoln Hills reflects her eclectic eye. Paintings crowd the available wall space and sit stacked in corners of every room. Niches in the walls are filled with art objects of every description, as are the bookshelves in her living room. There is even art in the bathroom – a trio of bright Mexican masks. Jordan’s home is bursting at the gills with her collection — what she calls “10 pounds of stuff in a five-pound bag.” In her defense, she noted, her house doesn’t have a lot of wall space. Her garage shelves remain crammed full of pieces she brought with her from her former business, a frame shop in Redwood City. “I’ve got to tone it down,” she said. “I guess I’m a collector, (but) there’s nothing wrong with that. Every once in a while, you find something of value and it makes it all worthwhile.” Jordan, who originally is from Cincinnati, said she has always been into art. She took art every day in high school and after she married, she continued to study art. She owned an art and framing shop for more than 20

years and was instrumental in starting up an art center for Redwood City – where she also taught 11 art classes a week and helped start a street fair. Jordan retired and moved to Lincoln in 2000, where she

continues to teach three classes a week. She also sits on the art committee for the new Lincoln Library at Twelve Bridges. Jordan’s home contains an eclectic array of art, from pastels to oils to ceramics, in a

dizzying array of styles. And yet, it all works together — perhaps because the art so clearly reflects her personality. Jordan claims no special talent when it comes to picking out art.

ADVICE FOR ART COLLECTORS Jordan’s advice to prospective art collectors is simple. “If you see something you like and you have the money, buy it,” she said. She has several pieces that have appreciated substantially over the years, creating an inheritance she intends to pass on to her children – and grandchildren. “Collect the work that you like,” she said. “If you don’t have the room to hang it, buy it for your grandchildren and start them with a collection of art.”

JORDAN continued from page 4

not the colors in my living room.’ I just want to shake my head. All art goes together. Art is art – it’s to be displayed.” Jordan, who also has studied art restoration, has bought a mixture of older pieces and work from emerging artists over the years. “When it’s old art, I look for the name,” she said. “And the quality – does it need to be repaired.” There are two theories to buying art and Jordan seems to have made use of both. “You can buy art because you like it or because the person’s starting to make a name for himself and you can get in on the ground floor,” she said. One potter whose work Jordan especially likes is Laddy Barnett, who recently showed several pieces at Lincoln Arts. She purchased an armadillo teapot and another pot covered with frogs. ”His work is very different and the finish is fantastic,” she said. “He hasn’t made a name for himself yet – but I think he will.”
