Studio Open House

December 12 & 13th  2015,  10-5pm

774 Meech Lake Road

Chelsea, Québec

I need to make more space in my studio, so I will be holding a sale of some fine older work from my salt firing days at greatly reduced prices.  My showroom is also brimming with current work,  both large and small.  You are welcome to stop in for a visit and refreshments and see if anything suits your fancy.

Moving Towards the Light  was selected for the GICB2015 International Competition.  A total of 2,629 entries (by 1,470 applicants) were submitted from 74 countries around the world. 108 works comprise the exhibition.

I am grateful for the financial support of CALQ (Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec). Their funding helped with the shipping expenses, and will enable me to attend the opening of the exhibition along with the many other events organized around this major international ceramic biennale. https://www.kocef.org/eng/n02_biennale/2015/01_01.asp

Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery

Connection x Connexion installed in main Gallery. Exhibition runs until March 15th, 2015

Paula Murray’s Connection |X| Connexion is an installation of suspended porcelain scrolls that explores themes of interconnection, individual and collective identity and the acquisition of wisdom. Resembling a series of interlinked bridges, the installation also evokes the unravelled inner rings of trees – nature’s scrolls that narrate the life history of trees and the eco-system of which they are a part. Murray’s transcendent installation grounds us in our own worldly fragility while alluding to humankind’s constant search for knowledge.
