SCC GALLERY EXHIBITIONS Reflection –Collaborative ceramics featuring tile murals by Wendy Parsons & Zach Dietrich. Reflection on the art of crafting a life together Over thirty years ago Wendy Parsons and Zach Dietrich settled into making pottery in an old church converted into a studio on the outskirts of Moose Jaw. The 70’s was a time of social change and their lives embodied moving 'back-to-the-land,' making a small footprint on the earth, resisting blatant materialism, spending time in nature, and making pots. Zach and Wendy collaborate on many of their production pieces; however, they have distinct individual work. Zach makes large-scale, well-thrown pieces that seem effortless due to many years of practice. Wendy's work is primarily fi gurative featuring strong, individual characters and her uncanny ability with caricatures. Heather Smith, Curator for the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery, says “Wendy and Zach both seem very rooted in this place - the clay comes from here, the colour is right for the prairies, the content is often nature-inspired, and their whole way of working is collaborative and cooperative. This energy they have to fi nd and incorporate new ideas, as well as to make loads of work, is an exciting mix. I count myself lucky to have artists working at such a high level of technical achievement with their medium, in a constant state of innovation - yet settled and even in their method of making a living.” Recent Works by Mel Bolen – Ceramics works supported by Saskatchewan Arts Board grant and influenced by EMMA 2008. October 9 – November 22, 2009 Playing with Dimensions – SCC annual juried touring exhibition for 2009. November 27, 2009 – January 10, 2010 Robertson Trading Post Collection – Private collection of First Nations work. January 15 – February 21, 2010 The Art of the Book '08 – Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild (CBBAG) fifth major touring juried exhibition.
