Cristina Cordova: Bestiario
March 25 – May 27, 2011
Central to Cristina Cordova’s work is an intense attention to form. She melds ancient with modern and human with animal to create hybrid, other-worldly figures. One is taken aback by the intricacy, power, and bizarre, yet entrancing qualities of each creature.

You are invited to FOREVER, an exhibition that connects the archival nature of clay to the poetic and preposterous nature of a FOREVER postage stamp. (Ceramic material provides us with some of our oldest records of history.) The FOREVER stamp offers the possibility of imagining an equally distant future.
Amber Ginsburg and Robin Lambert asked artist, educators and everyone we knew to place one ounce of wet clay in an envelope and mail it to the FOREVER project with a Forever Postage stamp. The journey through the post left its impression on the material. These marks became a tale, connecting this project to our earliest writing on clay. They are now fired and the journey permanently archived. FOREVER will be on view at the Morean Arts Center for Clay, and St. Petersburg Clay Company at the Train Station.
Artists Participating: Amber Ginsburg, Robin Lambert & anyone who sent FOREVER one ounce of clay

Fired Up
Fired up is an exploration of the many surfaces that clay can achieve when subjected to atmospheric firings… Wood, salt and soda provide the surface finish for these artists’ work. Each will be demonstrating their work and techniques as part of Blast Off. This show will showcase finished work and provide examples of the many varied surface possibilities – from Chris Gustin’s highly glazed yet wood fired surfaces to John Balistreri’s raw wood fired surfaces, from brilliant color seen in Don Reitz’s new work to the sensuous flowing forms of Tara Wilson’s functional work. Matt Long’s work will highlight his mastery of flashing slips in all the kilns and McKenzie Smith will show off his luminous functional soda fired work.
Artists Participating: Don Reitz, Matt Long, Chris Gustin, McKenzie Smith, John Balestreri, Tara Wilson
