Carol Mayer:
Post AGM Book Talk

Following the break, Carol Mayer, author
of Transitions of a Still Life—Ceramic Works
by Tam Irving, will talk about her book.

Tam Irving ts one of the leading ceramic
artists in Canada. He has practiced in
British Columbia for more than 40 years,
where he has worked as a sculptor, studio
potter, ceramic artist and teacher. This
book ts about the rich and diverse body of
work he has created over this time. After
early experimentation with sculpture, he
turned his attention to creating wheel-
thrown wares intended for household use.
Subtle glazes made from local materials
became a signature of his work. In the
mid-1990s he began a series of still-life
compositions. These referenced still-life
paintings, performance and architecture.

His latest works are part vessel, part
sculpture, part abstraction, provocative
in their flamboyancy, and indicative of
his new interest in the use of vibrant
colour. Tam Irving lives and works in
West Vancouver and 1s a life-member of

the PGBC.@
