Be Still My Heart, Stephanie Somers
Whimsical, inspiring, utilitarian, simply beautiful: the RiverArts’ Abstract and Ceramics exhibit runs through September 30, with an opening reception on First Friday, September 7, 5 to 8 pm.
Curators Barbara Parker and Ronn Akins asked artists to open their minds, open your souls, and allow color and form to be inspiration for your work. As they relate in the curator’s statement, “The interplay of color, motion, and form combined in composition is what the artist feels and thinks at the moment of conception and are the elements that create a reaction for the viewer.This show exhibits all of these fascinating qualities, whether it is in ceramics, fiber, or paint. The array of works presented rise and surpass the challenge of working away from the known and in a realm that is often without language.”
The Abstract and Ceramics show, free and open the public is on view through September 30.
