Show of Care – Jan Howlin
24th May – 11th June, 2011
Opening Night:
Thursday 26th of May 6 – 8pm
Salerno Gallery presents “Show of Care”, a solo exhibition of ceramic works by Sydney based artist Jan Howlin. This exhibition reconfigures the installation she created for her Masters Degree at Sydney College of the Arts. The show brings together seven works, with over 40 individual ceramic pieces in total, in a mixed media presentation. While the ideas spring from her own childhood and family life, they draw on experiences that have been common to many of us, and thus offer the viewer substance for emotional connection and reflection.
Artists Statement:
Show of Care is concerned with the way everyday life is maintained within the home.
It has been made in homage to my mother, whose care for me and my family, usually taken for granted, sustained and enriched our lives.
In exploring a number of the domestic activities, tasks and rituals fundamental to the experience of home she created for us, I hope to highlight the profound value of care, loving and giving in everyday life.
