Artist Statement
This exhibition presents works from the first thirty-five or so years of
my practice. It shows chronologically, how I began making ceramics as a
kid and continued on making them through my K-12 education, my post-
secondary education, and my early teaching career. Greg Payce -continuum is a prequel to the work being shown concurrently in Greg Payce -Palimpsest at the Esplanade Gallery, which showcases the last fifteen or so years of my fifty-plus years in the medium.
Artist Talk with Robert Silverman
Artist Robert Silverman will
talk about his inspiration for “Tirana” (shown above and below), a
featured work in the GLAZED & DIFFUSED exhibition. Edi Rama, artist
and mayor of Tirana, Albania, who transformed the city with color, was
Silverman’s inspiration for this piece. After the talk, join us for the
closing reception of GLAZED & DIFFUSED.
Artists: Raymon Elozua, Peter Christian Johnson, Jun Kaneko, Jae Yong Kim, Steven Young Lee, Lauren Mabry, Sara Moorhouse, Ron Nagle, George Ohr, Peter Pincus, Robert Silverman, Linda Sormin, Toshiko Takaezu, Beatrice Wood, and Betty Woodman.

Curated by Sigrid Dahle, featuring work by Marcel Dzama, Seema Goel, Rachael Kroeker, Jeannie Mah, Monica Mercedes Martinez, and Brendan Tang.
This group exhibition includes artists who consciously use ceramic
history, material properties and studio and/or commercial production
processes to playfully and incisively explore, resist and/or perform
unmoored contemporary identities. How are ever-evolving,
cross-generational im/migrant experiences, colonial narratives and
hybridized identities – what we customarily call ‘globalization’ –
enacted in and through the vibrant discourse that is 21st century
ceramics? What is it about this medium that renders it so amenable to
supporting these timely and compelling investigations? Explore these
questions and more when Play, Precarity and Survival opens this July.
