Soil to Sculpture

 

The second exhibit I saw at the Shemer Art Center was called "Soil to Sculpture: The Art of Clay".  

There was just something about this fellow's smile that I found very uplifting.  He was created by Kristy Winterbourne and the piece is called "Suppurate With Me".  

I must admit that name threw me off.  That is not a word I would use to describe this fellow with the sly smile.

This one is by the same artist and it's called "I Will Keep My Watchfull Eye OPEN".

This one I get because I can see the "watchful eye".  

Kristy is very good at forming faces from her clay.

These last pieces were part of a tribute to an artist who passed away last year.  Sandy Blain was a ceramic artist who supported the Shemer Art Center and was known to everyone who worked there.  Her ceramic pieces were always available in the gift shop.  I love that tall one in the back.
