Join the Alberta Craft Council for a virtual Artist Talk and Closing Reception of Procession of the Self on Monday October 17, at 7pm MDT,
Procession of the Self is an Alberta Craft Council solo exhibition by 2022 Winifred Shantz Award for Ceramics winner Matthew O’Reilly. The figural ceramic works in Matthew’s show were developed during his year-long residency at
Medalta in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Through the iterative making and exhibiting process, Matthew’s work has evolved from gallery white, distorted public statuary to richly expressive, towering figures. Using the sculpted figure as a launch pad for conversation about the human condition and making reflexive work that pushes, pulls, and complicates dialogues around identity, Matthew’s work conveys a personal narrative while simultaneously being a larger cultural time capsule.
