Crista Ames

Interflow

Exhibition Dates:

 April 10 – May 4, 2023

Reception:

Thursday, April 6th from 4:30-6pm

As a sculptor who works primarily in clay and ceramics, Ames finds this material conveys her interest in representing dual associations of permanence and fragility while referencing historic creation myths and craft.

 

Through the layering of mythology, iconography and personal narrative, Ames’ work questions familiar feminine tropes of art history by reanimating classical references and reimagining historic narratives and symbolism through personal interpretation. Raised on a hobby farm in Washington state, Ames draws on her own experiences to explore pastoral life, animal husbandry, women’s craft and fertility.

 

In bridging the gap between myth and experience, Ames utilizes her artistic practice to create new stories and feminine monuments that tell contemporary tales of trauma, joy and womanhood.

About the Forsberg Art Gallery

Lower Columbia College's art gallery located in the Rose Center for the Arts features twenty foot high walls with ample space and complete flexibility for the display of art. The second level of the gallery is more intimate in nature and displays special items and the college's permanent collection, much of which has been donated. Natural light from a slot skylight gently illuminates the room to enhance the overall experience in the gallery.

Current exhibitions in the Art Gallery are free and open to the public. Posted receptions are free and open to the public as well.
