Rebecca Hutchinson


Rebecca Hutchinson's ceramic work appears to mimic a fabric like texture. She creates multiple pod like forms that are installed throughout the gallery space. I was particularly drawn to her work because of the weightlessness and simplicity of the forms. As I begin to combine ceramics and fibers artist like rebecca are very insightful.

Jamie Salmon

Jamie Salmon's sculptures are made of silicone, pigment, fiberglass, acrylic and hair. These pieces are very large and are titled fragment. I came across this artist while researching ways in which to combine different materials. At first I thought is was computer generated until i looked at the variety of different sculpture pieces. The realistic quality of the skin and hair tricks the eye even though they are mostly flat sculptures. The emotional state of the subjects are very clear raw, guttural and exposed.
