GALLERY PROFILE

Connie Glover's recent feature of work broke new
ground for her in both form and technique. In her
work she shows strong interest in geological forma-
tions and textures: forms which rest precariously on
top of one another defying gravity, Coloured surfaces
which feel and look like oxidized bronze are contrasted
against the smooth velvety surface of white terra
sigilatta. Rocky outcroppings are heavily textured in
red clay, oxides stain the surfaces to highlight the
subtle presence of a face sculpted into the surface, or
a doorway hints at the possiblity of what lies behind
or below the surface. Connie's work is definitely

exploring new ground.

This past surmmer, Connie took part in Steve Helne-
man's sculpiural workshop at Emily Carr, which
revived her interest in low-fire glaze techniques in the
electric kiln, The ease of firing, coupled with Connie's
interest In a process which is environmentally
friendly, is most important in her choosing the mate-
rials she is now using in her work. She has also
adopted unconventional techniques such as applying
slip and stains over glaze, in looking for new ways of
expression, Connie also states, “I am intrigued by the
idea of tension created by the delicate balance of one
piece on another, or one plece suspended between two
others, as though caught in a precarious balance. “

Connie has studied ceramics extensively here in B.C.,
at Banff, and in California, and has a continuing
interest in increasing her awareness and exploration
of clay.

December 15th is the final 1989 Jurying deadline for
new work in the Gallery. As usual, 6 pieces of new
work or slides, along with a typed biography, are
required.
