I began working in clay for the
first time about a year ago having never touched it before then. On a
whim I decided to take a Ceramics class at a community college and from
the first day I was felt as if I had been doing it my whole life. It
just clicked! Ever since then I have been working non stop and am
finally getting a “studio” set up and just this week ordered my first
kiln. I
am extremely excited to see what the future holds for me and am
grateful that I have found this life changing medium.

March 15 – April 23, 2013
Reception: Friday, March 15, 6-8pm
Referring to the two types of geometry—2D and 3D—“Plane & Solid”
presents four artists who experiment with shape, pattern, and color to
create work with strong geometric structure. In the wall sculptures of
Alison Reintjes, the paintings of Hans Peter Sundquist, and the
functional ceramics of Marc Digeros and Mark Pharis, viewers are invited
to investigate the boundary between art and math. Through both
intuitive and scientific approaches, the artists use simple shapes to
construct objects of both intrigue and elegance.
