INTROSPECTIVE EXPEDITIONS: JOURNEYS TO THE SELF.
Jane Adeney: TRANSUBSTANTIATION – Fire and the Search for Meaning. Focusing on controlled states of transformation and alchemical metamorphisis Adeney is fascinated with clay's various stages of being. Using fire imagery to explore the uniquely human search for transcendental meaning, this exhibition reaches into the depths of our inner selves, and touches the internal worlds of our desires and, possibly, our fears.
Louise Pentz: BROKEN... BUT STILL STANDING. Celebrating the human experiential dimension, Louise Pentz uses smoke-fired ceramic sculpture to take us to the world of contradictions embodying the legacy of mothers. Conceived in the headwaters of our ancestors, these vessels shape and transport personal gifts of identity and unique knowledge along the voyage of existence guiding us through the challenges of today.
Sin-Ying (Cassandra) Ho: ONE WORLD / MANY PEOPLE. Describing the path of encounters between cultures that collide, Ho is influenced by contemporary post-colonial theory.

EXTRAVAGANCE and PRUDENCE – MEDIA with MESSAGE – Susan Detwiler and Fiona Kinsella.
Susan Detwiler creates installations and videos based on her interaction in the natural environment. Using head-cam technology carried by her dog – currently working with a horse – she creates intriguing explorations of the terrain. In her sculptural pieces she invites the viewer to explore ideas of minimalism by using suitcases to create transient living spaces.
Fiona Kinsella's cake works appeal to the viewer on a subconscious level. Cakes garnished with such relics as teeth, quills, and cicada wings evoke notions of ritual and consumption. In a second body of work, the fat 3D layered surfaces of her oil paintings rise into peaks and swirls – almost edible – certainly spiritual.
