Portland Show Open Through March 25th
I’m very excited to announce our latest venue show, currently up and running at Oregon’s Finest in Portland, Oregon. I’ve partnered with local Portland sculptor Paige Wright for this exhibition, and we’re fortunate enough to be located directly across the street from the Oregon Convention Center, where the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts’ (NCECA) 51st Annual Conference (Future Flux) takes place March 22nd through the 25th.
Much like mine, Paige Wright’s work touches on the profound effects of environment on human beings, meditating on biological, climatological and social transformation, and posing questions of identity and collective awareness. We both favor traditional clay techniques and work with multi-layered surfaces that evoke both antiquity and mortality. As ever, the best work reflects the changing social, cultural and ecological environment from which it springs, and this is our common goal.
Entitled ‘Zone In,’ the work in the exhibition explores issues of transformation, sustainability and the tension between permanence and changing modes in the evolving global community. And NCECA’s Future Flux is the perfect place for us to connect with the public and other artists. At well over 5,000 attendees, this is the largest event of its kind each year. It’s going to be an eye-opening, inspiring four days of workshops, lectures and the most talented exhibitors in the country. We’re proud to be part of it, and we’d love for you to join us.
The exhibition runs through the end of the NCECA conference, which will be held March 22-25.
