"In Transit", Nov. 29-Dec.3, 2010, Northern Illinois University

The show titled "In Transit", was held at The Northern Illinois University Annex Art Gallery, Dekalb, Illinois.  The show is a collaboration between Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and Northern Illinois University, Dekalb, Illinois.  Graduate students from Edinboro had the opportunity showing art work at the gallery in Illinois.  The work of the graduate students from Northern Illinois University will be shown at The Bates Gallery after the Christmas break.  The piece pictured is the piece that I entered for the show in Illinois.  This piece was created my first year of graduate school, last year, and is titled "Found Love".

The final push to get all the work done in time was definitely worth it.  Here are some images of the final pieces that I have been working on this semester.  It's really fun to look back and see what the pieces looked like from the beginning to the end result from my past posts.  Hope you enjoy the new work.

"Intermediate Perception"-Opening Night Dec. 3, 2010

 These are just some photos before the opening of the gallery space.

The opening night of "Intermediate Perception" went well, and was enjoyed by all.  The artists showing work included:  Chris Hill (Painting), Parker Seward (Painting), Caitlyn MacDonald (Sculpture), Jason Thompson (Sculpture), Hiromi Katayama (Painting), Scott Porcelli (Printmaking), Angie Seykora (Sculpture), Kevin Rohde (Ceramics), and myself.  All of the artists are graduate students at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.  The show will run until December 20, 2010 at the Ferraro Gallery, 1020 E. Holland St., in Erie, Pennsylvania.  The gallery hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 1-4pm.

Final Push Before the Show

Here is just a sample of one of the pieces that I have been working on currently.  It is actually the base to a large sculpture I have been working on for awhile.  I really like the results of the glazes that I overlapped to create this look.  The piece is a five section assembled piece that I will post later from the show tonight at the Ferraro Gallery in Erie, Pennsylvania.  The title of the show is "Intermediate Perception", and is a group exhibition involving nine graduate art students from Edinboro University.  The show should be enjoyable for all, since there will be a wide range of media:  Sculpture, Ceramics, Painting, and Printmaking.  The show is at 1020 Holland St. in Erie, PA.  The opening is at 6:00pm-9:00pm this evening.   I'll post images of the show on my blog later this weekend to showcase the type of work being presented.
