emerging artist: Taylor Robenalt

“Art has been an obsession of mine since I was a little girl. It
represents a part of me that I have a hard time placing into words
therefore I create.  It is intuitive and reactionary process. Often I
have a loose image of what I want to create, but allow for freedom to
respond to materials and form in the production of the work.  I use
human beings, flora and fauna because it is a direct way to illustrate
emotions. I use clay because it is a direct way to work with form,
volume and surface.”

As an experimental ceramic artist,
Christopher Reid Flock’s work is profoundly influenced by the
significant time that he spent in Japan and the mentorship that he
received from some of Canada’s most respected potters. Among other
accolades, Flock was the recipient of the Winifred Shantz Award for
Ceramics in 2014. Although this ambitious exhibition will include some
works from his earlier career, it will feature more prominently his
large-scale, installation-based works that whimsically ‘play’ with
notions of function while merging rapid prototyping with classical clay
process.

A companion exhibition will feature works by Flock’s mentors Bruce Cochrane, Diane Nasr O’Young and Kayo O’Young.
