emerging artist: Amanda Barr
color, graphic imagery and text on porcelain. I enjoy the intimacy of
using functional objects as narrative vehicles for my inner
monologue. These objects then become part of the user’s narrative,
becoming part of their daily life through the ritual of use and by
decorating their living spaces. Each piece is a reflection of myself,
and in choosing to accept it into their life, it also reflects the
user.
I am often inspired by my background in
literature, thematically as well as being a source for much of my
text and my love of vintage illustrations. Through books one can
travel through time, to faraway lands… anywhere the imagination can
create. My work is an extension of my love of reading; it is about
expression and escapism, imagination and history. I want to make work
that will capture the imagination and create a dialogue with the
viewer, force them to think and dream and make their own journeys.
Crystal Morey @ Antler Gallery
Antler Gallery is excited to showcase the ceramic sculpture of Oakland artist Crystal Morey.
Crystal works in a very traditional style, building each piece from the
base up and firing/glazing them multiple times, to make pieces which
reflect our complex relationship with the environments which surround
us. Her human figures, encased in animal bodies, reflect the subjective
and ever changing boundaries between humanity and the natural world.
Through the “great acceleration”, which has been taking place since the
industrial revolution, human beings have become the biggest variable in
the changing nature of the natural world. The way we develop our
societies has a direct and irreversible impact on the natural ecosystems
that we are continually encroaching upon. Crystal’s works deal with
these conflicts, whilst also referencing the ways in which ancient
civilizations or peoples viewed wildlife and nature. This influence upon
her sculpture has given the pieces a totemic feel that immediately
calls to mind our changing attitudes toward the beings that we share the
planet with.
Crystal shows primarily in the bay area where her
studio is located and this is her first exhibition in Portland. Crystal’s work for the show can be viewed online here: http://www.antlerpdx.com/crystal-morey.html

8 days left to show Ben Carter and The Tales of a Red Clay Rambler some love.
I’d heard Ben’s voice for quite a while before getting to meet him in 2013 at Arrowmont. The Tales of Red Clay Rambler are a constant in my studio. They inspire, challenge me and keep me up to date with current artists and how they are affecting the art world, the market and our lives.
Ben had somehow convinced me to be a guest on the podcast. An honor I wasn’t convinced I was worthy of, but an experience I won’t soon forget. An insightful and extensively knowledgeable interviewer, Ben is a blessing in our field. His generosity and time and efforts to bring us this amazing podcast should be acknowledged. So if you can please help support Ben through his Kickstarter project to bring us another season of The Tales of a Red Clay Rambler.
Help fund the third season of this thought-provoking podcast exploring the lives of creative people around the world.
Read more about the project and what your financial support can assist with here on Kickstarter.
And find Ben and the podcast here.
