The ceramics works of two Saskatchewan artists are slated to be in Humboldt in October.
A show called "Motion Captured, Motion Denied," which features works by contemporary ceramic artists Jody Greenman-Barber and Zane Wilcox, will be up for viewing at the Humboldt and District Museum and Gallery until October 22.
Touring the province through the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) Arts on the Move program, the show highlights both the differences and similarities of the works of these two artists.
Although, OSAC states in a news release, both artists work in very distinct and different approaches from each other, "a commonality between their works is how each artists addresses the concept of motion."
Greenman-Barber's work is said to "(push) the boundaries of wheel-thrown traditions and approaches," as it concentrates on the gestural qualities of clay. The "exaggerated wheel-thrown lines and forms.... embodies motion," OSAC notes.
Wilcox's work is also said to push the boundaries of handbuilding with clay through "creating solid clay forms that embody a sense of immovability and stability, and thus serve as a reference point for the motion or physical movements of the view within the gallery space, as he or she moves around the works to take in the different angles and perspectives that they offer," OSAC states.
Greenman-Barber will be doing an artist's talk at the opening reception for this exhibit in Humboldt on Thursday, October 6.
She will not only discuss the exhibit, but will also demonstrate her creative process, and allow the public an opportunity to try a fun, hands-on activity.
The exhibit and artist's talk has been brought to Humboldt by the Humboldt Area Visual Arts Council with the support of Conexus and OSAC.
