Grace Nickel: Arbor Vitae @ The Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery

by | Jan 15, 2015 | Uncategorized


January 18 to March 15, 2015

 
Arbor Vitae is a body of work resulting from an intensive two
years of research including artist’s residencies in Jingdezhen, China,
exploring fabric formwork at the Centre for Architectural Structures and
Technology, and experimenting with fabrication technologies at
AssentWorks in Winnipeg.
 
Incorporating Rapid Prototyping technologies into her work, Grace Nickel’s
large-scale porcelain tree sculptures and installations negotiate the
relationships between the natural and the fabricated, rural and urban,
the austere and the embellished, growth and decay, and life and death.
Her newest work advances her investigations of natural forms pitted
against artificial construction and surfaces separated from and
reintegrated with forms.

Grace Nickel is a practicing ceramic artist who teaches at the University of Manitoba.

Unit 1

1202 Lucerne Ave, Lake Worth, Florida 33460

UNIT
1 Exhibitions is proud to present “It’s Going To Be Okay”, the premiere
solo exhibition of rising talent Woody Othello. Othello, a Lake Worth
based artist and FAU graduate creates installations of paintings,
sculptures and every day objects that are both disturbing and banal.
“It’s Going To Be Okay” is a site specific installation that Othello
will create to reflect on psychic entropy, its effects on the psyche and
physical self. Using technology as a metaphor for psychic
interferences, the shows extends Woody Othello’s ongoing efforts that
examine negative external stimuli and their harm to the individual.
