Brad Bachmeier’s “Sticks & Stones” Exhibit to open at Rehfeldt’s Gallery
Ceramicist Brad Bachmeier’s work will be featured at Rehfeldt’s Gallery in Sioux Falls, SD for the month of April beginning with an opening reception this Friday from 6:00-9:00 pm.
Exhibit Statement: The Sticks and Stones work is part of a larger series that investigates the physical properties and historical uses and relationships of clay as a material. As rock weathered into sand and sand became mud and clay, the surface of the world became alive. This series proudly embraces the strength of a 10,000-year-old ancient and global tradition of vessel making across cultures, borders and time. The vessel form is chosen to tell part of the story for its universal accessibility, timelessness and symbolic power. Reference to rock as parent material, archaeological ceramic artifacts, and cultural decorative patterns all reinforce the universal significance of pottery as a meaningful discipline.
