Beauty in the Negative
November 17 – December 30
Opening Reception: Friday Nov 17, 6-8pm
Free Event, Complimentary Food and Drink Provided
Nature is a theme that runs through Beth Zandardelli’s work. It is represented in the use of cutouts, forming the image in a negative space. Vitreous enamel is used to highlight the design. The colors and luminosity developed with enamel draws the viewer into the pieces. Meg Beech’s work is composed in three-dimensional form. These ceramic sculptures are portraits showing the balance and contrast between clunky awkwardness and graceful beauty. Human reality is seen in the juxtaposition of our flaws and shortcoming with our unique, individual, onw-of-a-kind beauty.
