Deep in the Shed / a Studio Sojourn

Curator’s Statement: A jazzy palette of 12 contemporary ceramic sculptors
offer an homage to the studio sojourn. This exhibition addresses the theme
of the artist’s deeply personal journey when sequestered in the studio. Deep
in the Shed derives its name from “woodshedding,” a jazz term that describes
the act of secluding oneself in the studio to work out ideas and develop
techniques that are to become the foundation of one’s unique vision. It is a
time of experimentation and a time of incubation - as artist Macha Suzuki
says, “In my studio I don’t want to hear others’ voices. This makes my work
mine.”  What takes place in the studio is often a mystery; this exhibition offers
a glimpse into the studio sojourn.

Artists: Steven Allen, Jenn Brazelton, Monique Castiaux, Natasha Dikareva,
Alex Hackworth, Bryan Higgins, Lori Koening, John Richard Lloyd, Nikki Lau,
Maggie Malloy, Oli Quezada, Bar Schacterman, and Tiffany Schmierer.
