I find these line drawings in nature to be an unending source of inspiration. The colors of the landscape are fairly neutral but the sudden peek of a green water tank\, an orange surveyor stick\, or a red vine is enough to get me started on a color palette. Once I start working\, the painting takes on a life of its own and I react to what’s before me\, making moment-to-moment decisions. Some paintings find their way to completion faster than others but often I rework a painting multiple times before it is resolved. A new series of smaller works that will be shown is entitled: “Listening with My Eyes”. \nTerry’s Work:\nI’ve long made work that fits in the hand and in the kitchen. But with the solitude provided by the Covid pandemic\, I’ve been exploring pottery making on a larger scale. This exhibit at Toe River Arts has given me the challenge of making work to adorn a large room\, to let the pots interplay and influence the space surrounding them. \nEverything changes when working large. Beyond the physical challenges of working with larger\, much heavier shapes\, my personal artistic goal has been to make new work that embodies a personality and character that is something of a departure from the forms I have made before. One of the treasures in this process is in seeing how glaze and surface can come into their own given ample space to move and interact with each other. \nWhen: June 17 – July 22\, 2023\nWhere: Kokol Gallery URL:https://toeriverarts.org/event/carmen-grier-terry-gess-together/ LOCATION:Toe River Arts Gallery – Spruce Pine\, 269 Oak Ave\, Spruce Pine\, NC\, 28777\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://toeriverarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Grier-Calypso-oil-on-panel-.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Toe River Arts":MAILTO:info@toeriverarts.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230621T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230623T120000 DTSTAMP:20240328T105949 CREATED:20230321T020039Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230321T020754Z UID:28451-1687341600-1687521600@toeriverarts.org SUMMARY:Out of This World Clay Camp DESCRIPTION:Let’s explore Space with galactic clay creations.
