artist talk: june 16th, 2022, 6pm @ studio c, 1411 cartwright st.

Ceramicist and painter Amy Gogarty presents a series of ceramic sculptures incorporating bases shaped like container ships which are piled with thrown forms resembling crushed cans, bottles, product tubes, logs, and Covid-19 virus balls. The ships are arranged as an armada on a table top, while other sculptures are placed on shelves suggesting shorelines or surrounding land. Flat circular forms—portholes—painted with images of the industrialized river or forest hang on the wall. Small piles of cans, tubes, bottles, and similar detritus are strewn about, and human heads stand guard to mourn, witness, or represent consciousness.

All Consuming acknowledges the allure of “stuff,” and questions our ability to change in the face of environmental crisis.

We look forward to seeing you for an evening with wine, cheese and great company!

The Artist talk will be held at 6pm across the street at Studio C, 1411 Cartwright St.Tickets are by donation with the funds going toCCBC programming in support of the craft sector in BC.
