Despite working in different materials on entirely different forms Sarama and Yost’s work share an inscrutable perspective and an incredible attention to composition.

Having just finished his MFA at Kent State University Brian Sarama will be exhibiting new work that builds off the imagery seen in his work in the Ceramics Invitational.  Seemingly unrelated images are layered and over-lapped, breaking down the recognizable forms into shapes and color.

Jeff Yost’s new work, still inspired by the arcane hours of twilight and dusk, are now visited by fleeting shadows, birds in flight and the illumination of man-made structures.  His landscapes of a nocturnal world conceal more than they reveal but remain serene, the viewer often wishing to step into them.

This exhibition will run through October 13, 2012.  Click on name to see gallery of exhibited works
