Alberta in a Box: Wide Open

"Lidded Jar", Joe Reid

Of his work, Reid says, "...I am inspired by the shapes and textures found in my own yard and across the countryside. The ridges and patterns of cultivated fields, the sharp angles of the machines that work them, the granaries that hold the crops, the farming lifestyle shapes my work."

This piece is part of Alberta In a Box: Wide Open, a juried travelling exhibition of whimsical and elegant clay work by 39 members of the Alberta Potters Association. The show runs until April 14 with a closure on April 6 & 7 for Easter. The Visual Arts Alberta Gallery is open Wed-Fri 10-4 and Sat 12-4 pm. Drop by for a visit!
