Well it must be a dreary day outside here today because I feel so compelled to have lots of beautiful images to look at in todays post. So as I’m left here trying to figure out what happened to the glimpse of spring we saw yesturday let me introduce you to the work of Jasna Sokolovic.

I’ve long been a fan of the work of Jasna Sokolovic and lately she seems to be everywhere I turn. From an installation with Laura McKibbon as part of the Come up to my Room project at the
Gladstone Hotel that everyone is talking about (a must if you find yourself in Toronto), to a residency at the
International Ceramic Research Centre in Denmark, to here and there in shops and galleries, on etsy and soon to be in CEBIKO (congrats Jasna!) I’m particularly interested in a direction of her work which incorporates architecture and ceramics and site specific installations.
It reminds me of Rory MacDonald’s street repair series where he would cast broken areas of sidewalks and beautifully repair them with new blue and white ceramic “band-aids” or Honor Freeman’s power point series, installing ceramic power points in outdoor spaces, making a twist on the familiar.(Here’s a link to a great article on Honor’s work.) I’m completely intrugued by the process and posibilities of taking ceramics to the streets in such ways as to subtly change our environments, giving us the opportunity to rethink and evaluate the everyday and how we live within the moment.
Jasna also makes gorgeous jewelery and tile works for the home.
Want to see more of Jasna’s work? Check out her site, (which even includes a sneak peek into her studio and process) or her shops here and here, or the following galleries that show her work:
BC Ceramics Gallery Vancouver, BC
Gaia, Montreal, QC
Or if you happen to find yourself on Granville Island in Vancouver stop in at her beautiful studio and shop front which she shares with a textile artist.

Don’t forget that the deadline for residency applications at the Archie Bray Foundation is Mon. Mar 2nd at midnight MST. The good news is that artists can apply online right up until midnight so there is still time for anyone considering applying. The application is for both long term (1-2 years) and summer residencies and there are fellowships offered as well.
Information is available at
www.archiebray.org.
Oh and make sure you check out the online images from the Beyond the Brickyard exhibition. Looks like an amazing show!
