CANTON, OH (AAPNW) – Recently opened, “Thinking with Animals” is an exhibition at the Canton Museum of Art that is all about animals that have been subjects in art and ceramics throughout history and across all cultures. These creatures have been used as symbols, archetypes, and to speak to the human relationship with nature. Animals provide a universally understood way to examine ideas that may be difficult to discuss or understand in any other form.
The ceramic artists in Thinking with Animals are a diverse representation of gender identity, culture, backgrounds, and career stages. By the same token, the range of building techniques demonstrated in the work on display includes, slip casting, paper clay, solid building, hollow building, wheel throwing and mixed media.
On view in the museum’s galleries are works by artists: Molly Allen, Crista Ames, Pavel Amromin, Rebekah Bogard, Kelsey Bowen, Ariel Bowman, Beth Cavener, Mya Cluff, Linda Cordell, Sarah Davey, Alanna DeRocchi, Natasha Dikareva, Shelsea Dodd, Morel Doucet, Lukas Easton, Shauna Fahley, Alessandro Gallo, Julia Galloway, Steven Godfrey, Donald Guidoboni, Richard W.
