I realized last week that I hadn't been to the Shemer Art Center since last February. I'm pretty sure I missed one of their shows in between then and now so I made a point of going yesterday. The current show is called Inside Perspectives and it showcases artwork created by Shemer instructors, students and staff members. As usual, the pieces were beautiful and inspiring. The display of ceramics in this room made me want to take a closer look.
This one was created by Susan Nguyen and it's called "La Dame et Moi". I'm guessing from the name that it might be a self portrait. It really is beautifully done.
This one is by Jane Kelsey-Mapel and it's called "The Emperor". I love his crown.
This one is by Ann Erickson and it's called "Ms. Sweet Cider". I feel like I've met Ms. Sweet Cider somewhere along the way.
This piece by Carolyn Sechler gets the prize for the longest name. It's called "Volatile Tipping Point Between Remembering and Forgetting".
Tomorrow I'll show you some other great artworks from this show.
Local arts often show amazing talent.
ReplyDeleteLove Ms. Sweet Cider. I think that was my perpetual look as a young stay-at-home mom of four and then with some of my teaching days! The long name ceramic is poignant. It reminds me of my mom's journey with Alzheimer's.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI like Ms Sweet Cider too, Sharon. They must have had fun creating these.
ReplyDeleteIt is a funny exhibition.
ReplyDeleteInteresting! I like the little mouse on "La Dame et Moi." I wonder if the mouse is "la dame" or "moi"?
ReplyDeleteThe art is outstanding and very creative.
ReplyDeleteThe ceramics are very creative!
