GALLERY PROFILE

Linda Bain-Wood's show of recent work opened like
a breath of spring, in early September! As “New
Directions in Majolica”, it was well titled. Earthen-
ware and majolica are a mew direction for her, as it is
only since her move here from Ontario that she has
been working full time inthis medium. She previously
has worked in stoneware, using shino and other
classic glazes, and having studied shino in Japan for
a two month period in 1986.

A graduate in art history from Queen's University in
Kingston, Ontario, she studied ceramics at the Can-
berra School of Art in 1976, travelled extensively in
that part of the world, and studied traditional pot
making techniques in Papua New Guinea. She has
taught ceramics both in Australia and in Canada.

Ontario Crafts Council design awards were made to
her for the years 1982-1985, and here in 1987 and 1986,
she received a design award and an honorable men-
tion in the Fraser Valley Guild's Annual Juried Show.

Leta Cormier’s profile of Linda's work in the Vol. 8,
No.2, 1985 issue of Fusion describes her work very
well, and I quote a passage from It, Eventhough she's
talking about stoneware with very little painting, the
feeling that Linda evokes with her work is also very
present in the show we have just seen here,

‘Linda makes a vanety of wheel-thrown functional
POTEET”. .2.2.00000 “made tna direct and decisive manner.
These are straightforward forms, full-bodied in feeling
with generous lips, knobs and feet. Some pieces are
altered on the wheel as part of the throwing process,
others are altered after throwing. The vessels and
plates altered on the wheelretain afresh, lively quality.
They demonstrate sensitivity to the plastic character of
the clay and an intuitive understanding of the gesture
of the pot, There is a pleasant sense of scale and
proportion throughout Linda's work. The bowl, handle
and saucer of her teacups convey energy and decision
but the overall demeanour ts one of inuttation not
intimidation.”

rieuaes’ fai aiancing that its 4th juried erhibttacens will
