New Ceramic Installation featuring new work! (Music: From the Earth)
Opening reception Sept. 6, 2024, 5-7pm. Exhibition runs through to Sept. 30 at the Piper J Gallery in Truckee, California. All are welcome. Come enjoy Art reflecting the inspirations of our ancient ancestors.
As an Earth Artist, I endeavor to create eco-friendly Art using and making natural earth paints and clay slips from collected minerals and clays. The ancient methods and styles of early cave painters from Europe, Africa and Australia along with their motivations to paint animals and symbols are what influence my Art. I am particularly intrigued with their use of ochres and their processes. I also enjoy studying the ancient signs and symbols and how these compare to early pictographs and languages. This installation explores the possibilities, the stories and the wonder that echoes from our ancient past yet with a contemporary flair that resonates today.
Enjoy the video. It captures a bit of the entire show. Be kind to our earth. Enjoy always. kind regards, Jennifer
