Naomi Cleary and Perry Haas Exhibition
The Jane Hartsook Gallery
This event has ended.
The Jane Hartsook Gallery presents the two-person Exhibition of Naomi Cleary & Perry Haas. This exhibition highlights the eclecticism prevalent within the field of contemporary ceramics.
Cleary uses the industrial process of mold making and casting to create replicas of existing objects. Repeating form time and again. Cleary’s expression comes through her drawing and layering of the surfaces, creating colorful abstract patterns and recognizable imagery. Her drawings unfold on the interior and exterior of the porcelain forms.
Haas creates one-off forms on the potter’s wheel. Each piece documents the subtleties of its making. Furthering this Haas uses wood firing that leaves the flame, ash and time to develop the ceramic surface. While Haas has shown himself to be knowledgeable of the firing process, there is still a fair amount of chance as to how each piece will evolve in the kiln.
Their separate approach to pottery comes from seemingly irreconcilable positions, but oddly the pairing opens a space to consider their similarities.
