Last year our 16 + 16 show was such a breath of fresh air at the beginning of the year, that we decided to have another one. What ’16 +16′ signifies is that each one of us who is a part-owner of the gallery invites another artist who makes work roughly in our area (i.e., I’m a sculptor/mixed media artist, so I invited a clay sculptor http://mo-wilson.com/) and our guest exhibits their work at WSG.
One of our guests is Marcia Polenberg – a clay sculptor and guest of Ted Ramsay.
‘Basquiat’ and ‘Mona’ are bust sculptures with thick, delicious glazes. They have quite a presence in our front window! Read more about her work here: http://www.annarbor.com/entertainment/artist-marcia-polenberg-throws-a-birthday-party-with-her-solo-show-at-clay-gallery/
Another of our guests is photographer and Washtenaw Community College professor and head of photography Terry Abrams. He has a couple of close-up photographs of wall-surfaces in Morocco. They’re abstract masterpieces!
