Opening Reception June 14th
The American Museum of Ceramic
Art is honored to present, Large as Life, an exhibition that includes
the work of three female artists whose sculptural work, figures, busts, torsos,
and animals, is unified through their similar approaches to clay. Drawing from
their individual experiences as working artists, teachers, mothers,
visionaries, activists, or simply women, their sculpture and public commissions
have explored themes of feminism, the human condition, the environment,
portraiture, the ecclesiastical, and the fantastical.
Betty
Davenport Ford, Elaine Katzer, and Lisa Reinertson share a fascination of using
stylized figurative forms for their investigation of the human condition; their
artistic endeavors speak to a spiritual concern for all life and for
proclaiming the earth’s bountiful beauty. Ford, Katzer, and Reinertson fashion
compelling sculptures that evoke playfulness, offer social commentary or
reference spiritual truths.
