Valerie Zimany will discuss her exhibition in an Artalk on Monday, Sept. 30 at Emory & Henry College.

The discussion begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Board of Visitors Lounge of the E&H Van Dyke Center.  The exhibition will be shown in The 1912 Gallery, which will open at 6:30 p.m. and again following the Artalk for a reception with the artist.

Zimany’s work ranges from large-scale installations to sculpture and functional items.  Many objects appear organic. Some have figurative elements added to them in the form of silkscreen decals.  She often draws inspiration from the Japanese tradition, having been to Japan several times as a Fulbright Fellow. 

The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities and NCECA have released a catalog for the Earth Moves: Shifts in Ceramic Art and Design:

It looks great!

I'm very pleased to have Chigiri-e (Full Leaded) included in NCECA's Earth Moves: Shifts in Ceramic Art and Design exhibition at the Arvada Center.
