Hopewell-based artist Debbie Reichard will be presenting a free slide talk on her sculpture at the Princeton Public Library this coming Monday, June 22 at 7 pm. (For directions and parking information, go to the Library site.)
Local folks may know Debbie from her days with Trenton Avant Garde, or her time teaching ceramics at the Arts Council of Princeton. Or maybe you’ve admired her artwork in local exhibitions (her towering, slightly drunk ceramic bowling pins remain one of my memorable favorites.) Her approach to art-making is totally unique: funny, sometimes cynical, beautifully crafted, and always entertaining. To quote notes from an exhibit of her work, while her background may be in ceramics, “...her materials and methods have grown to include anything that she does not already know how to do.”
Debbie’s currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Herron School of Art and Design, (University of Indiana/Purdue U.) in Indianapolis, so this is a rare opportunity to hear from the artist while she's a little closer to home. Check it out! And check out Debbie’s website to see a little more about what she’s working on these days.
