ALBERTA CRAFT COUNCIL FEATURE GALLERY Payce: Celebrating Greg Payce’s 2013 Saidye Bronfman Award For Excellence In Fine Craft
Alive with history, movement, and possibility, Greg Payce’s vessels become animated before our eyes. Processions of figures emerge from negative space, projections of vibrant patterns dance across porcelain surfaces, and holographic-like images pulse with dimension. The work in the exhibition is chosen from both the collection of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and Payce’s own collection. Saturday to March 29
