Recent ceramic sculpture by Suzanne M. Long: Birds come home to roost, or leave the nest. Sheep carry banners of whimsy, or lofty plumes reminiscent of carbon emissions. Totems, critters and the long gaze of contemplation mark these works reflecting on humanity and our relationship with the natural world.
As is often the case with Long’s sculpture, a quiet sense of humor inspires a feeling of kinship while unexpected details beckon a closer look. What is our place here? Are we sheep? Oblivious? Or gazing ahead with keen awareness? The work ponders these questions, and our uneasy tendency to do nothing in the face of complex and overwhelming evidence that now it is the time to do Something, if only it was clear and not too hard…
Ceramic sculpture and clay fans take note, Migration is one of the stops on the East Bay Clay Roots free self-guided studio and exhibition tour, running concurrent with Fertile Ground, the 56th Conference of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts, hosted this year in Sacramento, March 16 -19th. East Bay Clay Roots features sixteen East Bay locations focused on ceramic work and open to the public between Oakland and Benicia/Vallejo, with many stops in between. Check the NCECA website and East Bay Clay Roots Instagram for more details about Fertile Ground and East Bay Clay Roots, including hours, exhibitions, and locations.
