Curatorial Statement
Density.
Dense with Substance.
This is the work of Doug Peltzman.
When one holds onto an object made by Peltzman, one can feel the integrity within. Red Lodge Clay Center was happy to add his work to the roster last year and we are pleased to be able to feature his work now. Kick off your new year with the addition of substance and beauty to your cupboard and table.
“My pots are composed of and inspired by many disparate things and ideas. I strive to create a symbolic space for the user to unearth connections and links within the work. The types of pots I choose to make are directly connected to my own eating and drinking traditions and preferences. My vocabulary of form and surface is inspired by findings in historic and contemporary ceramics, architecture, modernism, design, geometry, and landscape. The rich historical and contemporary base of ceramics provides an opportunity to repurpose and rethink forms, materials, and ideas from our past.”
Reception January 6, 2012, 5-7 @ 123 S Broadway, Red Lodge, MT
