OBJECTS WASTING SPACE BEAUTIFULLY
Curated by Ruth Reese

December 1 through December 29, 2012

OPENING GALA Weekend Open House, Saturday and Sunday December 1 & 2, 11:00 am until 5:00 pm
 
 "Object," curated by Ruth Reese, does not include 2D work, but concentrates instead on art in
the round. Expect to find: ceramics, glass, textiles, fibers, metalwork, jewelry and woodworking. "Object" showcases eight artists creating sculptural and functional work of material importance,
emphasizing art as object, with an absolutely dimensional appeal. These objet d'art anticipate the holidays and the show fits well with the gift giving season.

Inherent to "Object" is the integrity of materials as acknowledged by the vision of the artists. "Object - Wasting Space Beautifully" features the following artists and their materials: JOSEPH & BRIDGET FARMER working in steel; MICHELLE HAMILTON working in kiln glass; SHERRI JAUDES working in silver, bronze, copper and cast iron; JEREMY LAMPE working in blown glass; RAY MORTON, working in wood; CARMELITA NUNEZ working in ceramics; RUTH REESE working in earthenware and porcelain; DON TRAN working in fibers and embroidery.

The exhibition is on view December 1st, through December 29th, 2012. A free public open house will be held on Saturday and Sunday December 1st and 2nd from 11am-5pm on both days. PHD Gallery
