OCTOBER EXHIBITION

DEBRA SLOAN
The work in the show, loasely titled Dogs, Bodies and Offers, isin Debna’s words, quite
ainixed bag, The inspiration for these recent works is the beady, be it animal or human.
Inthe five large dogs of approximately twoand three feetin size, the boxly theme is quite
three-dimenstonal and physical, while in other pieces, such asa large vessel over wo feet
high, the baxdy ts painted as graphic decoration around the outer edges in glazes and oil
paint,
Asa result of having a larger kiln, Debra’s work has not only changed in style, but in
scale, Even a chess set is larger than life. As Debra says, now that! have a bigger kiln,
the door is open to working ina larger scale. The larger scale challenges me to expand
the imagery that! work with. That imagery being expanded and sometimes contracted
will greatly affect the work's impact. Scale does matter.
