Ms. Scotchie translates these principles into three- dimensional ceramic forms that are biomorphic and geometric modes of expres- sion. Through repetition, modification and eventual ar- rangements — at floor level or in wall assemblages — inter- relationships are established that evince a natural order, defying preconception. When the works are placed on the wall, the individual com- ponents might resemble models of genetic helixes. Although they can stand alone, it is the spatial rela- tionships between the elements which generates the rhythm that the artist is after. < Gallery Mounts Artist's Works • Tents • Tables • Chairs • China • Paper Goods 4391ORCHARDLAKERD.,N.OFLONEPhNE IN CROSSWINDS Judith Dresher Gallery ."7 1991 Dodge Shadow Convertible Village Jeep-Eagle • 001010WANIIC Epitaph No. 1 stone tombs, temples and altars in Egypt that are stain- ed by time, bleached by the sun and worn by the wind. Bradley Miller's work also is influenced by ecological processes. During the 1970s, he conducted a series of ex- periments with ceramic forms, testing their reactions to firing against the laws of physics and the mathematics of cell division. Ceramic rocks were subjected to high pressures to test their com- pressive strengths and crack- ing patterns. The resulting rock fragments were divided into predictable geometrical shapes and units. Three forms dominate Mr. Miller's current work: the trademark geological ele- ment, which when polished into a regular geometric or softly rounded block, often serves as a sculptural base (the artist's ongoing reference to Earth as the source of all Life); a spiral, deeply carved into a rock or shell and refer- ring to the cyclical nature of time; and a vessel, sometimes a simple, hollowed-out rock, sometimes a fully evolved tea- cup, referring to human habitation. Virginia Scotchie's current work is an exploration of the merging of geometry and nature. The artist's interest in geometric form and its ex- istence in nature has led her An exhibition of new pain- tings by Maxine Snider and sculpture by Muriel Castanis will run at Robert Kidd Gallery through July 11. Maxine Snider's paintings have a duality of purpose. They are all about painting — the quality of paint, the nature of structure, the im- pact and sensitivity inherent in color, and the attaching of objects to the canvas which are personal bits of the ar- tist's everyday life and thought. Equally as important is the spiritual and conceptual nature of Ms. Snider's pain- tings. Her canvases are filled with the fantasy of childhood memories, the mysteries of adolescence, the concepts of "mother and father," the playfulness of daydreams, and actual "words" which invite the viewer into a dialogue with the artist. Muriel Castanis creates life-sized sculptures of draped garments which resemble L,- classical beings frozen in time. Using fabric coated with - j epoxy resins, she constructs the illusion of life. What in- trigues the viewer is that he senses a moving, breathing - j figure within the garments or he suspects them to be as solid and heavy as marble. In reality, neither is true. These are faceless "statues." The in- terior human figure is no longer there. Robert Kidd Gallery is at 207 Townsend St., Birm- ingham. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
