    logo_madeinclarkdale2Clarkdale AZ (April 23, 2014) – Made In Clarkdale’s Corner Gallery announces the opening of the “Three Amigos Ceramic Exhibition”. Ben Roti, Michael Bolen and Luke Metz are excited to share their ceramic art collaboration. Each artist brings a unique vision and approach. Thinking outside the box is a quality all of these artists share. Come see where fine craftsmanship and art merge.

    20150423_mic1Although he comes from a long history of wood fired ceramics, Ben Roti’s recent work has transformed into hand-built functional pieces using low-fire earthenware clay inspired by the surrounding red rocks. He builds variations and creates unique layers in each piece similar to a natural landscape.

    Bright, vibrant colors and a soft, supple finish are characteristic of each piece. Careful consideration is given to the feel and fit of each form, whether it’s a small whiskey cup or a tall, slender bottle. Ben’s ware is all food, dishwasher and microwave safe.

    In the creation of clay forms, Michael Bolen engages in a dance with the clay that honors its ancient and sacred nature. The product of this collaboration is a wide variety of ceramic pieces both functional and nonfunctional.

    In this show of Michael’s most recent work, Asian and primal influenced works in Raku, unique functional stoneware pottery and enchanting one of a kind Hobbit like birdhouses will be displayed.

    The award winning art of Luke Metz makes a bold statement and pushes boundaries. Each piece is a learning experience for him and contributes to an evolution that is evident in his work. Luke’s attention to detail makes each piece special – “My art is the result of passionate exploration. ‘What happens if I do this or combine that?’ is a query that underlies much of my work. I am not looking for my niche – I want my artistic expression to continue to grow.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
