50/50 Ever Evolving:
Janice Loeb and Carol Nevitt

Exhibit celebrating the work and a fifty year friendship, Janice Loeb and Carol Nevitt.

As teens, growing up in culture rich Nyack, New York, they began their creative journeys as they transitioned into adulthood. Sharing lives across both coasts, one in Los Angeles and the other in New York City, each has pursued their visual art. Carol in the exploration of sculpture and ceramics and Janice in painting, watercolor, printmaking, photography and video.

Their images are joined in this space as a commitment to one another and to the pursuit of creativity. Through divergent materials and concepts they join their unique, individual ideas, principles and perspectives.

Exhibition Dates: The exhibition opens on September 5, 2015 and runs through September 20, 2015
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10, 2015, 6-8 pm.

Artists’ Statements:

I have always found an excitement in the process of starting with an undefined malleable material such as wax or clay and refining it into a shape, giving it a presence and a sense of simplicity.

Combining a meticulous approach to form, I allow the textures and surfaces to emerge through accidental occurrences created in the process of glazing and firing. I strive for each piece to have its own identity.

Living in California, I am influenced by my relationship to my immediate environment both on a personal and physical level

Memory is a powerful time sensitive force that can shift, strengthen, fade and even unravel. My interest in memory comes from my personal experiences and through my work with children and adults.

Art brings our experiences from memory to a tangible form. The iconic form of flowers, chairs and the cycle of time exhibited captures and preserve memory in various modalities and media.

Ceramic Artist
Clay has been my medium of choice throughout my years of creating art.
I love the feel of clay and the challenge of designing something from a mass of nothing.

Having studied and pursued figurative sculpture and then abstract sculpture, exploring various materials and methods, I decided to switch to working on the wheel in ceramics in 2006.

I like the immediacy of the thrown piece and the challenge of rediscovering shapes, surface design and textures. I have been drawn to creating functional pieces as I try to stay true to my own aesthetic, which I view as having a modern simplicity.
