I’ve longed to sculpt ocean waves. So, when fellow artist Elizabeth Addison invited me to sculpt mandalas, translation = The Universe, The One…The Many. That clicked. Welcome to Cosmic Ocean. All living things on Earth store a genetic recipe using the same DNA molecules from the star stuff of the cosmos and our oceans. DNA helixes twist on Cosmic Ocean’s waves and pedestal. This piece is coil plus slab built and wheel thrown.
This exhibition features artwork from 92 members of Northern California’s Women’s Caucus for Art that tells a story, invites the viewer into other realms, evokes transcendence, or inspires a good laugh. All 92 artworks will be exhibited in the Portals Online Gallery and in the Portals exhibition catalog.
The San Geronimo Valley Community Center debuts Liz Lauter’s Tree of Life solo ceramics collection. Her recent work features elaborately embellished Arbol de la Vida candelabra forms, wall mounted sculptures and “istoriato” painted platters with narrative themes of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden as seen from Eve’s perspective. She uses the traditional Italian majolica technique of terra cotta clay, tin glaze and vibrant hand painted overglaze colors.
Liz’s clay artwork weaves threads of Mexican folk art, Islamic design, and botanical illustration into her own form of expression which is new at the same time familiar. They all meet in her Garden of Eden.
The gallery is open weekends from 12-5 and M-F from 10-5
The show opening to meet Liz is Sunday, July 9th from 4-7
