We're all very excited to see what comes of Laura's exchange semester in Taiwan. She arrived just a few days ago, and has promised to keep us updated from a blog of her own. Here's an image of her space for the next few months at the Tainan National University of the Arts.

An Exhibition that might be worth checking out...
"Back to Earth is devoted to ceramics in the fine arts. Whereas the use of ceramics was frowned upon in the world of art for many years, it has recently enjoyed a surprising renaissance. For the first time, ceramic objects by 75 internationally renowned artists will come together to form a unique panorama... Is 'Back to Earth' a symptom of our age? After abstraction, virtuality and conceptuality, are we now seeing a return to handwriting, the body, materials?"

It's a great group of artists participating, and the VAC of Richmond has been superb to work with all-around! If you're in the area, please stop by and take a look!

Curated by Jason Hackett
"The premise of this exhibition explores clay as a contemporary art material strongly connected to its history and traditions. Recognizing the responsibility art has to question and reflect culture, Hackett presents a selection of work by artists who investigate overlapping themes of ceramics, function, art, and life. This exhibition honors six artists: Blair Clemo, Sin-Ying Ho, Mathew McConnell, Adam Shiverdecker, Linda Sikora, and Stan Welsh."
I'm pleased to announce that Linda and I are currently exhibiting work in The Clay Studio of Missoula's current exhibition, "Finger to Thumb; A Thousand Marks of Pinching Artists" curated by Lilly Zuckerman and Emily Schroeder Willis.
