FALL RIVER Essence and Allure, an online exhibit featuring the work of Andrew Maglathlin will be on view at the Narrows Center for the Arts through Feb. 11.
This online exhibition features Maglathlin‘s traditional pottery and the vessel as a reference and as a platform to merge sculpture and painting. Andrew’s pieces are ambiguous and evoke something in the viewer that is both familiar and at the same time distant. Painting multiple layers of glaze and slip, the pieces slowly progress through a metamorphosis, as a dialog is created between the form and surface.
Maglathlin was born and raised in Berkley. He had his first experience working with clay in high school when he took a ceramics class with David Robinson. He was instantly hooked on clay and continued to take the class for the rest of his time there.
