Paula Murray: Resilience

Opening Reception: September 10, 5 to 7 p.m.

Canadian artist Paula Murray’s work is unapologetically beautiful and unafraid to take on some of the most difficult and universal issues of the human experience: Breaking and healing, transformation, the search for truth of different kinds, and finding pathways towards reconciliation. In her own words:

"My practice is rooted in the relationship between process material and meaning. I am drawn to how ceramic materials and processes have affinities with the human condition; how we respond and engage with the injury of experience. By embracing wounds, deeper meaning can be brought to our lives, transforming suffering into something worthy, sensuous, and beautiful."

On display will be a survey from her decades-long practice, with an emphasis on the vessel as a metaphor for the human experience.
