TRAN(IN)FORM*A*TION




My friend Amanda Small came to visit FL, this past weekend. Amanda is an international artist who is the Coordinator/Directors at Guldagergaard International Ceramics Research Center in Skaelskor Denmark. Amanda is a free spirit and infectious to all around her.

See the announcement below about her show:

Amelia Center Gallery of Gulf Coast State College presents Trans(in)Form*a* tion, a mixed media installation by Amanda Small. In her work Amanda explores the relationship between physical place and intangible experience, with an emphasis on the idea that movement is an intrinsic and permanent flux existing in all things, as well as being the sign and measure of space, and time, and memory. Amanda’s installations employ mundane materials and ambiguous imagery based on the natural world, micro and macro views of the earth, cells, satellite mapping, topographies and systematic patterning to contemplate the meaning of “home” and “place”.

Trans(in)Form*a* tion will opened the evening of March 29. The work will be on display in the Amelia Center Main Gallery (Room 112) until April 21. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

You can see my new work to the right. My friend Sharbani did an amazing job, writing up a proposal for this show. It was well attended and looked great.

A bit of info about the show:

Naturalization
The exhibit brings together seven artists from varied backgrounds; all have experienced transplantation in some form. Though the term ‘Naturalization’ is mine, each artist’s work investigates some aspect of this process; human relationships and the interaction of matter, material and earth are all subjects.
