Market Street Gallery will also be hosting a closing event on Saturday, July 23rd, 2011, from 6 PM - 8 PM.

From the instant the "light bulb" (idea) goes on, that space allows time for the beginning forms of the imagination (concept) to shape and visualize the actual content of the art work (subject). The courtship between form, in this case 'thought' and 'subject', compete and juggle for this space and a marriage is formed. "Form" and 'content' become inseparable. When using the word 'form' in describing a ceramic sculpture one visualizes a physical form i.e. square, round, organic. This exhibit will explore 'thought' as a form and the space in between the 'idea' and the 'subject' of the final art work. My experience as a ceramic artist during this space of the 'a-ha' moment begins the push-pull process of imperfection-perfection, closed-open, private-public, oppressive-tranquil of the mind. How does the artist form the 'thought' (idea) and the 'subject' (content) into a sculpture? Is it going to communicate what the artist 'thought'? The final piece is often magical.
