The artists will their work in the context of the theme “Touch.”
About the Artists
HEAVY SHINE emerges from an ongoing collaboration between Toronto-based ceramic artist Dianne Lee and New Orleans-based visual artist Robyn LeRoy-Evans. Lee and LeRoy-Evans investigate their relationship to materials and their bodies, using their hands to throw pots and to drape and thread fabrics. The work is presented as a collaborative, multimedia installation of collage, drawing, ceramic vessels, portraiture, still lifes, and arranged tableaus that speak to the process-based relationships between the artists as well as their shared interest in the domestic object and contemporary conversations around women working together.
