Just Desserts
I love a good challenge and this month's Cottonwood Center of the Arts "Just Desserts" show was just that. Two pieces were juried in. There are a great lot of fun and fascinating pieces by other local artists to whet your dessert appetites.
Here is a portion of the prompt for this show.
Humans love sugar, and therefore, like everything else we love, we idolize it, fetishize it, celebrate it, and adoringly immortalize it in art. This call asks artists to call to our lust, our fondness, our sweet tooth for dessert. Of course we are reminded of Wayne Thiebaud’s iconic elegies to the pastries he was denied in his youth [one of my favorite artists!]...Dessert making itself is an art form that can be enjoyed in the moment.
"Gimme S'more" and "Leaning Tower of Tiramisu" can be seen at Cottonwood through December 20.
MAC Studio Artists and Member Show
It's also a privilege to show artwork this month at Manitou Art Center Member and Makers show.
Merry Christmas!
