LOVE IS

Summer 2022 Exhibit.

Sally Linder’s paintings show us the many forms and ask us to meditate on the meaning of love. Love of course comes in many shapes – physical love, old love, puppy love, emotional lust, faithful friendship, love of others, love of self, and painful love – as our lives take us through the muck and mire of the Inferno. The stresses, the fears, the hates of the Purgatorio follow us as karmic shadows. They are the transient world we live our daily lives in.

OPENING RECEPTION

FORM AND FUNCTION: WE ARE THE VESSEL

We are the vessel of what we know.  We are the open form that gets poured into by the Universe, by our environment, by one another.  We are the vessel of creative life whatever shape that takes up.

We are the vessel in which imagination takes form. We shape our needs, we create our objects… whether useful or harmful, refined or raw, open or closed…. they all come out of the emptiness of being, each a gift coming into existence.

This exhibition of weaving and pottery represents different places and times.  And the three collections have their own stories to tell from the Tea Bowls by Jeanne Claire Bisson of Romulus Craft, Washington, VT and the Rug Weavings by Diane Elliott Gayer, Burlington, VT to the 1940s collection of Clay Pots from the Southwest.

Each is an accumulation of knowledge, technique, and spirit.  Each is an embodiment of the world from which it arose.  Each carries overt and subtle meaning from the fibers found in each weaving to the clay used in each pot.  The clays, pigments, shapes, patterns, firings, finishes, and actually uses affect the energy contained by each piece whether weaving or pottery.

Bisson’s Japanese-inspired Tea Bowls range from a beautiful white porcelain bowl with crackled glaze to the very wabi-sabi fire pit bowls with Ikuzi’s (her partner in Romulus Craft) special cosmic finish. To quote board member and potter Joan Watson:

“ these bowls break all the rules, they are heavy…"

And Jeanne’s response:

this is to bring you back to Earth, to remind you to slow down, accept the moment, and to feel the weight of what you hold in your two hands.

Gayer’s Weavings are a set of woven rugs based on travel and research into family heritage. Grandfather Fire and Mother Earth were inspired by trying to dig into family archives and papers; they became part of Spirit, Air, Fire, Earth, Water… which was previously shown in the Gallery. Grand Canyon is derived from a trek down the Canyon along the layers of geologic time; the shawl has a particular history—it is woven from salvaged skeins of yarn used by women to knit socks for soldiers in WWI; and Krokbragd (Crooked Path) is the most recent.

The southwestern Pueblo pottery on display at GreenTARA were gifts to a family living and working in Albuquerque, during the post WWII years of 1945-46, by Hopi and Santa Domingo associates. The pots themselves show traditions of the Zuni, Santa Ana, Acoma, Santa Clara, and Santa Domingo.

Form and Function: we are the Vessel. Please join us for an Opening Reception 4-6pm Friday, April 1, 2022.

TRANSCENDENCE

PLEASE JOIN US : FRIDAY OCT 15, 2021 - 4 TO 6PM. GreenTARA Gallery Artists Reception celebrating the work of Catherine Hall and Shelley Warren.

Please Note : the Gallery is open during Kraemer & Kin hours of operation: Thurs - Sun 12noon to 6pm.

Transcendence: that moment of higher consciousness that comes from moving through obstacles, seeking out the light, and becoming independent of the material universe.

We live in a time conscious of change. Things are shifting and we can feel it on all three levels from the personal and communal to the global. We are trying to find a path through this world, and to transcend what is before us.

To help us see our world, painter Catherine Hall’s fluttering textiles, changing colours, and glittery gold remind us of the transitory illusions of our daily lives…. while artist Shelley Warren’s carved Buddhist and Hindu inspired sculptures help focus our minds and hearts with as we travel through this samsaric world into Oneness.

TRANSMIGRATION: the passage of cells, populations, and spirit

TRANSMIGRATION : This passage is a condition of change and evolution that we’ve collectively tried to stabilize and control through our engineered constructions and our neo-colonialist/post-industrial economic ways and which works against the natural conditions of movement and migration through cells, populations, and soul. Still, our markings and geographies migrate through life at the cellular, geographic, and spiritual levels of our own becoming.

GreenTARA Gallery is happy to announce this second of the 2021 art shows with Vermont Artists: Jessica Scriver - A New Geography and Mary Admasian - Marked.

The Gallery theme of Transition, Transmigration, Transmission, and Transcendence will permeate the four curated art shows of the year.

Transmigration runs Friday July 9, 2021 thru Sunday August 29, 2021. GALLERY is OPEN Fri, Sat, Sun 12noon - 6pm during Kraemer & Kin’s hours of operation. Please join us for an Art Reception in July.... Date to be announced!

"Where do you draw the line?"

"Where do you draw the line?"

This show is about exploring the effect that borders have on habitat: human, environmental, and spiritual. Our existence has always depended on moving, migrating, and adapting as conditions change. So what are the implications of drawing lines across space?

In Barbara Waters’ work, we see her create from the experience of encountering a wall cutting through our protected lands. And in Tuyen My Nguyen’s installation, we have string as line building a boundary through which we cannot pass.

Join us for Artists:

Barbara Waters, Tuyen My Nguyen

OPENING Reception: Sept 6, 2019, 5-8pm

Show runs: Sept 6 thru Oct 6, 2019

Other Events:

Borderlands Talk with Barbara Waters

Sept 21, 2019; 2pm

Magicians Without Borders
