    Main Gallery: Preserved Fragments by Benjamin Clore and Lisa Truax

    Reception: Friday, July 10, 2009, 7 - 9 PM

    Benjamin Clore and Lisa Truax will exhibit their artworks in the Main Gallery.  The exhibit explores the concept of  human instincts and their affect of daily life and contemporary culture.  Clore’s main concentration lies i the instinct to collect and gather objects, while Truax’s focus remains on the inherent human connection to nature and how that contrasts with contemporary culture.

    While some distinction exists in the materials and working methods of the two artists, their artworks towards similar means.  The exhibit displays the burden placed on humans through the destruction of the environment and the compulsion to accumulate materials things.  Clore holds a Bachelor of Arts in Ceramics from Western Washington University and Lisa Truax holds a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Carthage College.  Both Clore and Truax are currently Master of Fine Arts candidates in Ceramics at Michigan State University.
