The exhibition Motion Captured, Motion Denied presents the work of young, Saskatchewan contemporary ceramic artists Jody Greenman-Barber and Zane Wilcox.
Although both artists work in very distinct and different approaches from each other, a commonality between their works is how each artist addresses the concept of motion.
Jody’s work focuses on the representation of motion, while Zane’s work reflects a sense of stability or the denial of motion. Pushing the boundaries of wheel-thrown traditions and approaches while revolving her practice around the spinning motion of the pottery wheel, Jody’s work concentrates on the gestural qualities of clay and exaggerated wheel-thrown lines and forms.
Zane’s work embodies a sense of immovability and stability, thus serving as an opposition to direct force or motion. This sense of stability, of permanence, then allows the work to serve as a reference point for the motion or physical movements of the viewer within the gallery space, as he or she moves around the works to take in the different angles and perspectives that they offer.
