Artist Reception December 5
Focusing on the artwork of three diverse talents, Zen Clay Gallery at 2862 University Avenue, Morgantown, will introduce the new drawings and prints of Forest Harman MFA, the photography of Patsy Harman CNM and the Ceramics of Tom Harman MD.
Titled TANGLED ROOTS, the joint show will explore the family of nature and the nature of family. All are welcome to attend the artist reception, Dec. 5, 1-3 P.M.
Forest Harman, long time resident of Morgantown and MFA graduate of the University of Cincinnati will exhibit a collection of drawings and prints that serve as a reflection of his relationships to family and friends. His strong black and white relief prints and drawings are both personal and universal. In an art world where so much is difficult or hard to interpret, the images of Forest Harman are instantly recognizable. His imagery leaves an imprint that haunts the viewer for days.
The photography of Patsy Harman, though from a different view point is similarly recognizable. Her color photographs of the natural world are, like Forests, simple but not simplistic. What Im interested in, the photographer explains, Is the beauty I see everywhere and I think most people do. In this difficult world it is important for us to know that we are surrounded by what is strong and tender and alive.
The ceramics of Tom Harman reflect his love of nature. Over time, using leaves to emboss my damp porcelain pots, the artist comments, I have become more aware of the vein structure, leaf serration, the surface texture, also the changes of the leaves through the seasons. For instance, in midwinter, maples and oaks persist, while sycamores, poplars, and locusts crumble to dust.
The public is welcomed and encouraged to attend the artists reception on Dec. 5 at 1-3 P.M. There is no charge for the event. For directions and more information go on-line or call 304-599-7687.
