SUSAN DELATOUR LEPOIDEVIN
Nov. 3 to 30, Seattle, Wa.

PGBC member Susan Delatour LePoidevin has a piece accepted
into the North American Juried Exhibition, UN-WEDGED 2012,
sponsored by Pottery Northwest in Seattle. The Juror, Andrew Lee,
Resident Artist Director of the Archie Bray Foundation, chose 21
pieces from the U.S., Mexico and Canada. The show runs Nov. 3 to
30; opening reception Nov. 3; 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Susan says, "My piece,
Ancestors on the Edge [see cover photo] is one of a series I am currently
working on that is inspired by the coastlines of the Gulf Islands and
San Juan Island region which borders the Salish Sea. I have bike
toured and camped many of these islands. My smoke-fired sculptures
reflect on the generation of first people traveling by foot or boat who
inhabited the coasts beside the Salish Sea. My pieces also allude to
the delectable feast of colours and textures in the many tide pools of
seashells, crustaceans, pebbles, star fish and sea urchins. I create figures
that represent shadows of ancestors looking out, looking in, all on the
edge of an unknown territory, before any borders were drawn.” See
