Candace Austin: Enteract

Start date: Tuesday, April 17, 2007
Event is ongoing: Until Monday, April 30, 2007

The ceramic installations of Candace Austin deal with relationships. These relationships are the interactions that take place between forms within an artwork as well as between the work and the viewer. The forms themselves combine aspects of the human body, such as a rotund belly, a long neck, or an open mouth, and shapes found in nature, particularly twisting intertwined tree branches and balancing rock formations.

Austin creates vessels in which the space inside the works becomes the soul of the piece and the hole is the way for that life force to connect with the viewer. Interactions between the forms are important, as well as the way the pieces relate with and animate the space around them.
