#1&2 are Leigh Wen: The line & meditative qualities of her
work are so inspiring to me. She can capture the sea in a squiggle better than
any other artist out there!
#3 is Simon Van der Ven: Just look at it! The delicacy, the
patience, & the skill required to create this work is outstanding and
something to aspire to.
#4 is Sandi Pierantozzi:
I’ve always been inspired by the whimsy &
movement of Sandi’s work- that and the fact that she uses slabs rather than the
wheel…I just love that!
All
my life the sea has been a source of peace, reflection, fascination,
and
endless inspiration. I have spent countless hours on or beside it in the
quiet
meditations of beach combing or listening to the movement of the water.
Through form, surface treatment & glazing I hope for my sculpture
&
functional work to reflect some of my favorite qualities of the sea, as
well as
my life-long enchantment with it.

August 23rd – September 30th, 2014
MudFire presents Girl Parts, an exploration of all things GIRL,
whether they be sugar and spice or something more sinister. This show
includes tiles, mugs, pots, sculptures, and a wide array of color, style
and material.
This show has a bit of everything – from pretend boyfriends and
lovely lady postcards to inticing sculptures from Kyungmin Park and
Kirsten Stingle give us something a little more to ponder about
femininity. Come see for yourself!
Starting August 23rd – this work will be on view in the gallery and
online – we will be holding a reception celebrating these delightful
works from 5pm – 8pm on Saturday August 23rd. Kirsten Stingle will be
here to discuss her work.

The
Nevica Project would like to take this opportunity to feature some of
the beautiful work made by artist Kirk Mangus. Kirk was a leader and
mentor in the field of ceramics, serving as head of the ceramics program
at the Kent State University School of Art from 1985 until his death in
2013. Collected nationally and internationally, he was the recipient of
two National Endowment for the Arts grants, four Ohio Arts Council
fellowships, a Pennsylvania Council on the Arts fellowship, and a
McKnight fellowship residency at the Northern Clay Center in
Minneapolis.
We would like to give a special thanks to Eva Kwong, his widow, that helped make this exhibition possible. A portion of all the
proceeds will be donated to the Kirk Mangus Ceramics Scholarship Fund at
Kent State University. If you would like to make a donation, please do
so by sending a check to: Eva Kwong c/o School of Art, Kent State
Univ., 400 Janik Dr., Kent,OH. 44242. It is a 501c3 account- all
donations are fully tax-deductible for the donor and it would benefit so
many students..
