Dimensions is the annual juried exhibition of the Saskatchewan Craft Council and the 2009 theme is Playing. Watch for a stoneware bowl that appears to float in space, fused glass that evokes a jazz duet, stoneware sculpture that undulates and an unbelievable wooden cabinet with drawers that resemble a zipper. These are just some of the outstanding 35 works in the show. Enjoy the best of Saskatchewan in clay, glass, leather, wood, textiles, metals – and ideas! A catalogue accompanies the exhibition and in the Annex Gallery MADE FOR EACH OTHER It’s all about relationships: the teacup and saucer, the table and chair…fine craft and art is filled with dynamic duos. This show explores functional and fanciful interpretations of the theme “made for each other.” Matched sets and unruly companions; this juried group exhibition features art and fine craft that explores what it means “to be made for each other”. Is it a shared goal like a common function? Is the relationship harmonious like a matched set of chairs or pottery? Or is it built on complementary opposites like night and day, heavy and light? Come and discover the dynamics of relationships according to Newfoundland and Labrador fine craft. The exhibition will feature textiles, clay, wood, paper and a variety of other media in forms that are made for each other.to please the eye.
