Man or Myth? Explorations on Masculinity
May 4 to June 30, 2012
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 7:00pm
Three artists explore their personal relationships with the
traditional notions of masculinity and how this identity can be a fluid
one. The Croatian-born Srdjan Segan’s 40-foot elongated clay
site-specific sculpture and 30-foot long drawings of the ‘every-human’
pulls from his war experiences while a refugee during the Serbo-Croatian
war. Meanwhile, Clint Neufeld’s series of slip-cast ceramic auto
transmissions and parts are decorated with delicate Rococo filigree and
ornamentation. Finally, the infamous ceramic sculptor, Léopold L. Foulem
unveils his latest works, Bibelots in which the figurine—a trivial
cultural object—powerfully challenges the status quo.

with clay slabs offers more opportunities than any other forming
process. From small dishes and plates to architectural installments,
slabs can be used to create any form, any size. When Daryl E. Baird took
notice of all the work being done with this technique, he decided to
explore it in depth then open the doors for others to enjoy. In From a Slab of Clay
you’ll learn about what it takes to start out on a journey that’s sure
to last a lifetime. From setting up a proper working space to selecting
the right tools and equipment—including complete instructions for
building your own slab roller—Daryl doesn’t miss any details for you to
consider to assure your success.”

Shelley’s work is ever so lovely so please take some time to read the interview, check out her blog and maybe even pick up a piece or two for your home.
