individuals we endeavor to assert our uniqueness, but in the same
breath ask if our experiences are shared by others. The contact of two
hands, the pull of gravity on sinking form, the small indent of a hidden
smile, I observe the subtle movements in life and through my work, ask
you to do the same.
Just
as we only pick up on tiny gestures when speaking face to face, the
conscious mind has the amazing ability to find meaning in the minuet.
The brevity and physicality of these interactions laden with
significance is fascinating to me and through my choice of format and
material I try to draw attention to the details we often overlook.
my most recent work I’ve been exploring the intricacies of human
interaction and our perceptions of each other through the use of the
body. Though the strategies I use to convey ideas vary greatly, there is
always a connecting thread tying human presence to the content.
I
have great interest in studying people from objective point of view and
in turn, make work that allows me to create a platform in which to
observe and engage others. I strive to create work that is likes a
conversation, rich in information, fluid, and fleeting.

Mythology Meets Archetype @ The Northern Clay Center
curated by Heather Nameth Bren, NCC exhibition committee member,
professor, and ceramic artist. It will feature the artworks of Christie
Brown (London, UK), Philip Eglin (London, UK), Michelle Erickson
(Yorktown, VA), Bonnie Marie Smith (Kingston, NY), and Vipoo Srivilasa
(Melbourne, AU). The works in the exhibition will respond to personal,
cultural, and religious myths that have grown out of the desire to know
(or the posture to know) the unknowable. Symbols of the god figure, the
mother figure, the self, and the demon have been used to describe
ancient and contemporary narratives. This archetypal cast of characters
is employed as agents of one’s personal or cultural identity, spiritual
devotion, and even power to control the masses.
Vipoo Srivilasa will be in residence at Northern Clay Center prior to
the exhibition working with community members on a collaborative
project. Stay tuned for more information!
