Spiritscapes in clay and cloth, two artists, two media, one idea Vessels and vestments come alive with sprightly spirits - hu- man, earthly and airborne, a melding of the material and immate- rial - their ethereal movements playfully captured in clay and cloth in this unique teaming of new works by potter Rosemary Moles- worth and handweaver Pat Burns-Wendland. Opening August 11, 2007 at the Kent Farndale Gallery in Port Perry and running until August 30, Spiritscapes in Clay and Cloth is a pure flight of fancy, a shared vision and a conjuring act of all that is wild, untamed, otherworldly and imaginary. Ariot of angels, goddesses, herons, horses and moose prance, dance, cavort and bob, in, out and around Pat Burns-Wendland’s richly coloured handwoven jackets and vests and Rosemary Moles- worth’s captivating pots. “With each passing season, the colours and our surroundings change and so does my work,” says Pat Burns-Wendland. “Some- times I become fixated on a particular design and work through a progression of either colour, style or weave structure. Or maybe a particular button created by Rosemary inspires me to create a piece of cloth to enhance it. I have to admit, the artists I work and associate with influence me. Their own work and ideas can and do determine what I create.” Simple shapes and neutral tones are the hallmark of Rosemary Molesworth’s fanciful yet always functional vessels. She finds in- spiration for the often humorous, highly stylized images that adorn them in ancient cultures, rituals and the world around her, using clay slips, stencils and dine drawings to depict her interpretation of these eclectic influe Pat is a graduate of ‘Seneca College’s Dressmaking/Fashion Arts and Humber College’s Fine Arts programs.
