Between Things: Alberta Ceramics

I am honoured to exhibit my work (Haptic Objects, ASMR for Empaths) at the Art Gallery of Alberta (September 2023-March 2024, Edmonton, AB) in ‘Between Things: Alberta Ceramics’, alongside the ceramic works of Mary Shannon Will, Les Manning, Greg Payce, Bridget Fairbank, Trudy Golley, Amy Gogarty, Mabel Tan, Jocelyn Reid, Noriko Masuda, Zimra Beiner, Kasia Sosnowski, Mariko Paterson, Rob Froese, Benjamin Oswald, and Corwyn Lund. Curated by Lindsey Sharman and Diana Sherlock. From https://www.youraga.ca/exhibitions/between-things-alberta-ceramics

“At a moment when ceramics are everywhere, Between Things: Alberta Ceramics includes sculptures and installations made by contemporary artists committed to clay to ask how ceramics can activate our experience of and relationship to the world around us. This exhibition examines the ceramic object through three interconnected ideas—the ceramic object in relation to its materials and processes; the ceramic object in relation to its context; and the affective nature of the ceramic object in relation to the self and body. The artists in this exhibition make contemporary ceramics that reconnect us with the material world and each other.”

Craft + Science

Alberta Craft Feature Gallery (Edmonton, 10186 – 106 Street) MARCH 5 2022-JULY 9 2022 and AUGUST 6-NOVEMBER 5 2022 at Alberta Craft Gallery (Calgary, 1721-29 ave SW, Suite 280)

My ceramic sculpture work, Haptic Objects, and digital video work ASMR for Empaths are featured in this juried group exhibition exploring the intersection of science and craft.

“Craft and Science explores the interesting ways that science and craft intersect. Both fields rely on creative problem-solving skills, research, specialized training, traditional and innovative techniques and methodologies, imagination, and curiosity to fuel the search for answers. Science not only serves as a source of inspiration – scientific methods and principals are used every day by craft artists in the processes and creation of their work. Likewise, artists are called upon to find creative solutions and alternative perspectives in laboratory and research settings.” Alberta Craft Council website
