MN NICE Program now accepting Fall 2019 applications
Response: Climate + Clay is currently on view at the American Swedish Institute through May 5, 2019. I am exhibiting two new pieces which combine data visualization and decorative techniques to illustrate invasive species in Minnesota. This work was developed with funding made possible by the MN State Arts Board Legacy Amendment.
Earthly Paradise is up during the NCECA Conference March 25-30 at Joe Christensen’s Studio, 10895 Excelsior Blvd, in Hopkins, MN. Jennifer Rogers and I are showing work created in response to William Morris’ epic poems which evoke a bittersweet longing for perfection.
In Service: Engaging and Connecting through Clay, a show I curated, is currently up at Northern Clay Center in the Main Gallery. It features six artists and organizations who use ceramics to effect social change, including The Democratic Cup (featured in photo), Potter’s for Peace’s Water Filter Project, Powderhorn Empty Bowls, Northern Clay Center’s Seward Neighborhood Outreach, and artists Warren MacKenzie and Jeff Schmuki. The exhibition is on view March 8 – April 28, 2019.
The Vine Art Center presents Ideal Made Real: MN NICE, featuring the work of Alumni and Affiliate Artists of the MN NICE Program. This exhibition celebrates MN NICE’s 5th Anniversary and embodies the Claytopia theme of the 2019 NCECA Conference held in Minneapolis this March. The exhibition will be up through April 7, 2019.
