Clay in of itself is formless: it can become anything through one's desire. Once fired the medium becomes ceramic, permanent and transformed. Inert clay, from the earth, is made into something, which is directly and intimately related to active craft, to the processes of human survival, and to social and spiritual factors in the life of man, all at once. This then becomes what one may call a 'transformation image,' something undeniably material, wearing the evidence of its material nature in its visible and tangible forms and attributes. Ceramics plays upon our desires and reinforces how we willing allow ourselves to be deceived.Reception: Sept. 17 from 5-7 p.m. For more information visit Urban Arts Space. Gallery Hours:Tuesday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.Wednesday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.Thursday: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.Friday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.Saturday: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 50 W.
