The Brevard College Art Department will host an opening reception and presentation for ceramics artist Sue Grier on Friday, February 27.
The opening reception for Grier's exhibit, “Junctions + Surface + Meaning,” will be held from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Brevard College's Spiers Gallery in the Sims Art Center.
The reception and exhibit visitations are free to the public.
Through what is known as embodied learning, Grier seeks to explore how the idea of function can go beyond the utilitarian or traditional definition to further embrace the intellectual and conceptual aspect of the term. She uses familiar and abstract ceramic forms to symbolically express these observations and conceptual ideas. In choosing ‘functional forms’, she adds additional layers of interest through use of scale, surface treatment, gesture or posture and re-contextualization. Grier, who has been working with clay since 1984, is currently teaching part-time at Clemson University. Gallery hours are 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. weekdays when the College is in session. The exhibit will be on display until March 27.
