Main Gallery June 2 -July 31, 2006 Historica Florissma Curated by : Brenda Barry Byrne The work of Ruth Chambers, Rory MacDonald, Jeannie Mah and Martin Tagseth resonates with historical patterns of flora; exploring notions of beauty, diaspora, yearning, and the ceramic surface, its historical, cultural and formal meanings. The artists use the material of clay, both formally and conceptually, in very different ways, their geographical and ceramic affinities presenting a confluence of pattern and place, wherein the exploration begins.

Collectively these three artists have a century of experience in working with clay. Both wood firing and salt firing techniques display how fire, ash and salt affect the surface of clay. These techniques negate the need for glaze. Each method produces surprising and unpredicatble results.

Main Gallery December 7, 2006 - January 28, 2007 Technologies of Tenderness by Susan Shantz Curated by Joanne Marion In Technologies of Tenderness, Susan Shantz has created works which incorporate both an awkward, soft-bodied vulnerability and the smooth-surfaced geometry of systems and machines designed to support - if not nurture - those bodies. Specifically, Shantz was inspired by the birth of her son, a birth which necessitated a high degree of medical intervention. The work in this exhibition has evolved over the six years since the birth of Shantz's son; various pieces in the exhibition have previously been shown at galleries in Canada and the United States.
