At the Gallery in February: Reclaimed Clay Pottery works by Karen Adamson of Roseile
"Reclaimed Clay" is a term referring to clay that has been obtained from scrap. Any clay that has not been fired can be reconstituted. Many of the pieces in this show are made from such recycled clay.
The style and subject matter of the works is also reclaimed in that Karen has drawn from the ancient art practice of depicting agricultural animals as dieties. Animals that were depended upon were rightfully given this respect. Rekindling this awareness and elevating these animals in our consciousness is a reclamation.
