In Monica’s words: My last batch of work has come from a book titled “the man who mistook his wife for a hat” by oliver sacks. It’s a bunch of animals with people paraphernalia.
As the snow still exists here I’m jealous of Monica living in North Florida…sigh, will i ever wear shorts again??? Please check out her blog and etsy shop for more.
New works by Shannon Garson, Mel Robson and Kenji Uranishi
From the Pomme website:
Opening on Friday 3 April “Little Un’s”. Ceramic works by three Queensland Potters, Mel Robson, Kenji Uranishi and Shannon Garson. The brief for this group show was ‘keep it small’and the artists were only too happy to oblige with a series of exquisite, but perfectly functional cups,jugs and vessels. On show until 24 April 2009.
Here we go folks! April is Artist of the day month, enjoy and thanks to all those that submitted, I’m really looking forward to a month of visual inspiration. Yummy eye candy!!!
Our first artist is Kip O’Krongly.
You can find out more about Kip at www.kipokrongly.blogspot.com, or www.kipokrongly.com.
In Kip’s words:
I am a functional potter working primarily in low fire earthenware at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN. I use graphic imagery to exlpore my interest in the intersection of food production, energy use and transportation issues. I am intrigued by the way utilitarian ceramics can spark conversation and serve as a medium for personal interaction and change. When I’m not in the studio, I love to bake and knit!
Thanks Kip!
oooh…just a little over a day before the “artist of the day” month begins… Are you excited? I am. It’s funny though, probably 90% of the emails I received said “oh i’m sure you’ve already got your 30 artists”…guess what? nope, not quite. Been thinking about it, but didn’t bother? Get on it!!! As I said I will keep posting until i run out of images, so send, send, send those images in! Other wise you’ll get stuck with day after day of images of my work, I hate to threaten you with that, but there you go!
Cheers!
Opening reception Saturday 4 April at 7.00 pm of the exhibition “Monsters by Hands”. If you can’t quite make it to Thailand for the opening you can check out the show in a few weeks at http://vipaust.multiply.com.
“The Thai Celadon, Chiang Mai, will be exhibiting a very unique and exciting series of work, created by the employees of the factory at Pongnoi Art Space from 5-26 April 2009 (close 12-15 April, during Songkran holiday). These one off hand made ceramic pieces have been crafted under the guidance and assistance of the factory’s first artist-in-residence, a Thai-born Australian artist, Vipoo Srivilasa. Vipoo’s stated theme for the work, “Monsters by Hands” challenge the perception of the typical factory products by blurring the concepts of handmade and mass production.
Vipoo also invited a local photographer, Jatturong Sartkhum, to document and help tell the behind the scene stories of the individual artists and their respective creative process.
This exhibition will be the highlight of the collaboration of Vipoo and Thai Celadon, and is part of the 50th birthday celebration of making Celadon wares.”
