Last weekend I participated in a wonderful collaborative art show and fundraiser
.
"Collusion" was a collaboration between musician Scott Stieber, who had created many unfired clay forms, some vessel-ish, some amoebic forms, some just clay shapes, and 40 local artists who were invited to decorate them using their chosen media.
Over the weekend, the resulting collaborations were part of an exhibit and silent auction at the Green Lantern Studios with proceeds donated to the Community Connections Free Clinic in Dodgeville.
What a great show! Everyone produced really intriguing art - from intricately painted pieces to whimsical pieces to a completely functional lamp..and everything in between.
Each artist picked out the form they wanted to decorate. I selected a solid clay "blob" form - not entirely symmetrical, somewhat like an overstuffed bean bag chair. I did my usual mixed media layering using mostly dress patterns and emphasizing the graphic aspects of the pattern pieces. Then I added some decorative assemblage on top. I was pleased that the piece sold at the "buy-it-now" price.
Here are some photos from the exhibit:
