Antithesis of Demure | Isabell Daniel and Cynthia Morelli
This August Isabell Daniel's and Cynthia Morelli’s sculptures will be on display in an exhibit titled Antithesis of Demure at the International Gallery of Contemporary Art in Anchorage, Alaska. That's us in the picture, dancing as teacups and saucers on a summer night in Atlanta, Georgia in 1985. With this two person exhibition, we celebrate a deep and enduring friendship, born from and sustained through a shared history with clay. Our ongoing project, in which we shake up our own figure-based abstract sculpture through collaborative studio time, materials and place exchange, channels our heartfelt trust and bold playfulness inspired by each other. This is an intentional exchange based on the foundation of clay that began our forty-plus year friendship at New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in the 1980’s. Please join us at the opening reception on Friday August 1st in Anchorage!
