Copper Country Community Arts Center

Corroborate, an exhibit of ceramic sculpture by Jess Kane.

Corroborate  is an exhibit of ceramic sculpture by Jess Kane at the Copper Country Community Arts Center’s Kerredge Gallery May 8-June 2, 2012. In her artist’s statement Jess Kane says, “My new work attempts to access the part of memory that is neither wholly inherent nor acquired, but exists as an alliance of experience and physiology. This intimacy is translated through a rebus of earthenware forms that challenge scale and surface to be both precious and provocative.”  Jess studied ceramics at University of Michigan, Northern Michigan University and University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. She moved to Helena, Montana in 2006 to work at The Archie Bray Foundation. In 2008, Jess was the recipient of an artist grant from The Myrna Loy Foundation for her vegetable oil burning kiln design. She has spent much of the last two years building a home studio in Calumet and growing with her daughter. Join us for an opening reception on Thursday May 10th 6 - 8 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend. This exhibit is supported by a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. The Community Arts Center is located at 126 Quincy Street in Hancock.  For more information call (906) 482-2333.
