This 3-person ceramics show is an excellent opportunity to view a range of ceramics works. The three artists use the material in their own ways to suit their very different work. Megan Adams Irving has been working on this body of work in our studio and invites you to meet her at the gallery to see it all together. Megan will answer questions about her work and talk briefly about the process, materials, and inspiration behind this body of work.
Inclement weather date: Saturday, February 22nd, 11-12:30
About Megan:
Megan Adams Irving is a mixed-media painter and ceramic artist. To her, clay is a painterly and unnerving medium well suited to work about the temporary and fragile qualities of life balanced with the persistence of nature and geological time. Gardening and living generally close to the land in Central New York are critical to her lifelong study of the landscape and its connection to humanity. Irving was recently awarded an Individual Artist Grant to pursue a body of ceramic art inspired by wallpaper patterns reprinted from 1800s remnants found in New York States homes. This grant is funded by Earlville Opera House's Arts in the Community Grants Program, made possible by the NYS Senate with support of the Office of the Governor, and administered by the New York State Council on the Arts,
Irving has exhibited her work in artist-run pop-up spaces and more traditional venues, including the Samuel S. Dorsky Museum, New Paltz, NY, the Corcoran College of Art Design, Washington, D.C., R and locally, at the Smithy Gallery, the Arts, Roxbury Arts Group, The Art Garage, and the Community Arts Network of Oneonta.
