The Jane Hartsook Gallery is excited to announce an exhibition showcasing the diverse talents of Greenwich House Pottery faculty and staff.
Featuring a large vessel from a series of works created by Andrew Cornell Robinson that he made using raw clays harvested from a river bed in Haiti, and created as part of a series of ritual vessels made under the guidance of a Yoruba priest, to honor Olokun the orisha spirit in the Yoruba religion. Olokun is revered as the ruler of all bodies of water. Olokun is highly praised for their ability to give great wealth, health, and prosperity to their followers. Communities in both West Africa and the African diaspora view Olokun variously as female, male, or androgynous.1
This exhibition brings together a group of artists, each approaching the ceramic medium with their own unique backgrounds and perspectives. Featuring works by established educators, designers, and working artists, the show promises to be a dynamic and engaging exploration of contemporary ceramics. The participating faculty and staff have impressive backgrounds, including involvement in public works projects and residencies at renowned institutions. They hail from esteemed alma maters such as Alfred University, the Maryland Institute of Art, and more. These artists have also exhibited their work in prestigious institutions both in the United States and abroad, making this exhibition a remarkable showcase of their collective talent.
