Alberta in a Box: Wide Open

"Holding the Light", porcelain by Darlene Hare

Hare describes her process this way: "My piece was inspired by looking at footage of paper lanterns being lit and release to slowly gloat up into the night sky. As I watched and sensed the serenity, i envisioned siting amongst many time ceramic lanterns, lit and nestled within a small quiet area of one's garden - on a quiet still night; evoking that same magical sensation."

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!
