Baltimore Clayworks has invited Bernadette Curran and Krista Grecco to serve as Co-Curators for our upcoming summer show. Symbiosis will be a diverse exhibition of functional and sculptural, animal and figurative ceramic works. Participating Artists are: Kurt Anderson (NY), Joe Bova (NM), Mark Burleson (GA), Michael Corney (NM), Bernadette Curran (PA), Debra Fritts (GA), Krista Grecco (GA), Robin and John Gumaelius (WA), Jenny Mendes (OH), Lisa Naples (PA), Hannah Niswonger (MA), Jessica Orlowski (GA), Helen Otterson (FL), Amanda Salvo (AR), Kevin Snipes, (OH), Novie Trump (VA), Kurt Weiser (AZ).
The following is their interpretation on the theme for the exhibition; “Some define Symbiosis as an interaction in which at least one or both organisms benefit, a kind of mutualism. They may involve one living on another, one living inside another, or related by mutual behaviors.
The process of creating art is similar for most of us. It is a sort of “feeding off” of what inspires us; family, friends, past, present, nature, humanity. From this mélange of ideas we construct our form, surface and concept in clay.
There is no one definition of symbiosis. It is your interpretation that will be the driving force behind the evolution of this exhibition, for we all address the animal and/or figure in diverse and inspired way”
