   Susan Goethel Campbell has her mind on the clouds.
   
   ...
   Campbell, who teaches printmaking and book design at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, has created a series of images that play off each other to propose a discourse on man's very direct influence on the heavens above and the earth below.Though a series of six large renderings on paper titled Swimming in Wyoming (wispy, ethereal cross-sections of clouds and sky) captures our attention as we enter the gallery, there seems to be more at work in them than just Nature's hand.It's as if the vaporous forms have been sculpted by some unknown force with aesthetics in mind - and as if Campbell, though documenting what she actually saw in Wyoming, can't help but echo the famous clouds of Man Ray and René Magritte, suggesting that her reality involves a subtle surreality.As kids we thought the shapes in the sky were sculptures; as art-conscious adults we just can't get that idea out of our heads.
   
   But on two other walls, a wittily titled series of "cloud studies" depicts a more sinister beauty.Rendered magnificently in brushed ink on paper, these pieces juxtapose clouds of industrial emission with lovely masses of celestial mist that we trust have nothing noxious about them.
   ...
   Jumping off from the fable of Noah's Ark, Campbell gives us a visually mediated jolt of ecopolitics - animals are going mad in their desperate attempts to survive man's invasion of their habitats.In the end, she leaves us little to do but think (not bad, that).
   
   The last seven years have been a watershed for Campbell.She has responded to more frequent invitations to show and increasing critical recognition with a stunning technical virtuosity at the service of a meticulous project.Her ground-level political awareness - folding into an ongoing meditation on land and life - is embodied in a pair of Zen-like wood sculptures (Squaring I and II) that tell us that the road is long, the task infinite and the wages boundless.
