A ‘rollover’ show of wonderment

“Tug” 2021. Ceramic, mixed media. 12 x 10.5 x 10.5 inches, artist Ariel Bowman.

CANTON, OH (AAPNW) – Recently opened, “Thinking with Animals” is an exhibition at the Canton Museum of Art  that is all about animals that have been subjects in art and ceramics throughout history and across all cultures. These creatures have been used as symbols, archetypes, and to speak to the human relationship with nature. Animals provide a universally understood way to examine ideas that may be difficult to discuss or understand in any other form.

The ceramic artists in Thinking with Animals are a diverse representation of gender identity, culture, backgrounds, and career stages. By the same token, the range of building techniques demonstrated in the work on display includes, slip casting, paper clay, solid building, hollow building, wheel throwing and mixed media.
