Michael
Kline has recently participated in many of AKAR’s group exhibitions.
This week he has his own show where we see even more of his wood fired,
salt glazed work. The flora on Michael’s utilitarian pottery is inspired
by the mountains of North Carolina. In his own words, “Strong pottery
form and patterns that evoke the complexity of this natural environment
continue to guide my interests in this current body of work”.
Next New Work:
Doug Navarra
New
Yorker, Doug Navarra, has participated in our Yunomi Invitational since
2011. This month is the first that we’re showcasing a variety of his
utilitarian work. Doug’s pots are focused on what he considers “a living
tradition”. He wants his work to have a sense of timlessness as well as
a feeling of present time. Doug wants his pots to express themselves
through the balance of glaze and form, and not to be overpowered by
special effects.
Shows opens this Friday, January 25th, at 9:30 AM in the Iowa City gallery and online at 10:00 AM CST.
