4 Artists In Plain View

The Manitoba Crafts Council opened its annual juried show, "Culture-Counterculture", at Outworks Gallery this past Thursday evening, Sept. 17. It's a great show and worth a visit or two. Doug Melnyk, speaking for the jury, said about the entries: "Overall, we were faced with a wide variety of creative processes that blurred the lines between art and craft. Many pieces were excellent in terms of  technical considerations, but the nicer surprise was the large number which were so personally expressive and so wildly experimental."

The work of four artists from In Plain View were selected for this show -

Aliza Amidude's mixed media book: "I've Often Thought About Killing Myself"

Kathleen Black's pate de verre bowl "Flowering Steel Cannikin"

Jolanta Kieres Solkaska's glass and metal piece "Emotions"

Jo'Anne Kelly's ceramic and painted silk wall piece "Goth Medusa".

The show continues at Outworks until Sept. 29. Following that, the exhibition will travel to Neepawa at the Viscount Cultural Centre for the month of October.

Artist In Plain View - KATHARINE BRUCE

Katharine says about her work:

The mode of discipline that I work with involves a substantial collaboration with chance which relies upon an alertness to unintended consequences. The sudden appearance of unforseen possibilities,  in the meantime, requires a constitutional capacity to function within a certain degree of chaos. If I approach a canvas with what might appear a nonchalant anything goes disposition, it is with the same humility one brings to contemplating visual experience in the natural world. The requisite inner gesture is a sort of stepping out of the way in order to let something happen. There is the intuitive, dreamy quality of an otherworldly realm and, at the same time--here and nowness. Nature is the over riding motivation for my ART.

Katharine will welcome guests to her studio during the In Plain View Studio Tours taking place on the first weekends of November and December, '09. For more information go to:

Artist In Plain View - Nancy Blokland

Nancy Blokland is a potter based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Making pottery is a life long passion for her, as the process is therapeutic and endlessly interesting. Producing stoneware and porcelain functional ware, from mugs to soup tureens, to vases, she is heavily influenced by her time spent in Latin America. The botanical impressions from her garden and vibrant colors reflect this. Nancy strives to incorporate both beauty and functionality into every piece for the buyer so they will be used for years to come.

Artist In Plain View - KATHLEEN BLACK

Kathleen Noelle Black is Back with In Plain View.

She would like everyone to know that her work is currently displaying in the Auxillary Gallery at the Cre8ery at 125 Adelaide St. View her paintings at http://www.cre8ery.com/.

Painter/ Sculptor/ Glass Worker with a BFA, U of M, and ACAD/RDCC, Alberta, Kathleen says:

It is the emotional strengths and weakness of living that give life to my work. Small pieces of glass jewelry to larger organic, cast glass sculpture, windows, oils, water colour, acrylic, monoprints and mixed media - all reflect my exploration of light, dark, transparency, reflection, growth, and time. It really is about time - time of day, time of life, how little or great the time...

Kathleen produces one of a kind glass sculptures, original paintings and small unique glass jewelry pieces. She will be found during the In Plain View studio artists' tours at:

151 Garfield St. South

Winnipeg, MB. R3G 2L
