Earth & Fire

In the beginning, Earth was on fire and devoid of life. In the eons since, Earth became the Mother to all living organisms. All life forms depend on the original primordial forces to survive and flourish. We humans are made of these elements. Artists fire clay into vessels that carry our food grown by the Earth and Sun. We carry the burning fire of love and compassion in our hearts for our Mother, and yet, we treat her with disrespect. This exhibition will reflect how we view our own fundamental beginnings, born of primitive elements and how these origins resonate within ourselves. This exhibit celebrates artistic expression in all media to include textile, sculpture, encaustic, mixed media, oil, watercolor, acrylic and photography. Earth and Fire will be on display in the main gallery concurrent with AQUARIUS, which will be on display in the Virginia Russel gallery upstairs from February 24 through April 4, 2022. This event is free and open to the public. Art Center Morro Bay is open daily from 12pm – 4pm.
