Hypaethral: Open to the Sky

November 1 to December 30, 2024

Opening Reception:

Friday, November 1, 2024

CAVU Cellars is delighted to host this exceptional artist. Her beautifully worded Artist’s Statement is presented below.

 Alcohol inks are lively, messy, and mostly uncontrollable. Colors mingle, yet remain brilliant, inviting me to experiment.  The process of coaxing flowing ink into landscapes, mirror-images and filled-line expands abstract image into story.  This beautiful Blue Mountain Valley continues to inspire me with its textures and history, and its magnificent, wild skies. 

Because alcohol inks naturally misbehave, flowing and swirling on their own, without using a brush I will often thinly roll several colors into translucence.  I have very little control, nor do I want much, yet sometimes I long for a line to just stay put!  With the new metallic mixatives, I have found my way.  These metallic gesture-lines are filled with ink using fine tip bottles, appearing much like stained glass.  

My return to wheel-thrown clay has been pure joy!  Textured, pod-like forms often emerged, like something one might find on the forest floor, or dig out of a mudbank.  Other pots seemed to want a more elegant design and vibrant glazes. 

The word, Hypaethral, has a Greek architectural meaning—of temples built with an area purposely left open to the sky.  Each landscape holds atmosphere, each mirror image hints of wings—even my pots are unlidded, as if to hold air, or water, or found treasures.  Being open to the sky is both a visual experience, a remembrance, and a sense of belonging.  The possibilities are wide open…”

Meet and Greet on December 6th

Artist Statement: My work bears traces of my hobbies. I like to mix paints and get my own tones and shades. I work in different genres and enjoy the beauty of the world of forms and scales.

My life as an artist began with ceramics. Appreciating synthesis of various objects and ideas, I gain an understanding of the form and the perception for the difference of the forms. Some broken or irregular forms become attractive later when we revise or reuse them.

I see beauty through the colors and objects of nature and humanity. Artistic self-search is endless, and re-discovery is the prize for daring. An example: listening to Hip-hop on Saturday morning pushed the series of White Noise, an open-ended project of abstract paintings. Spontaneity in artworks helps the discovery and gives turn to planning and conceptualizing if the product and process are successful.

Artist’s Statement

My art signifies what is most important to me, and I create to share hope. I create to relate. Below are pieces of my story, from the beauty I see day to day to the struggles and hope that comes from them.
