Exhibition of work by members of the Metal Arts Guild, Northern California Enamel Guild, & ACCI Gallery
October 5th – November 8, 2018
ACCI Gallery
1652 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley CA 94709
Nothing, we’re told, stays the same. Life is, in its essence, impermanent; everything transforms. All members are invited to push boundaries, integration, and diversity; to explore the ideas, process, and experience in the finished work.
In October we celebrate transformation.
For Halloween, children become goblins or superheroes; the spiritual becomes material through costume and magic. We attempt the mastery of death, the ultimate transformation, with icons of skeletons and gravestones.
We also celebrate the Harvest of the fruits of transformation. What started as ground, air, water and seed has been transformed into what sustains all our lives.
Art celebrates transformation: An idea becomes an object, emerging through an alchemical transformation of raw material, idea, skill, and gathered ancient wisdom. Metal in one form has been transformed by energy into another. If we’re lucky, we, the artist; we the viewer; and we, the wearer, are all transformed. Even the objects themselves will continue transforming as they age, and as they’re used.
This Exhibition is nothing less than the celebration of life — the continuing transformation of one thing to another.
Jewelry, sculpture, conceptual pieces, and works that explore every aspect of Transformation are welcome.
Since the exhibition is in October, Halloween or Harvest themes may serve as a prompt, but aren’t necessary.
