楬ollow� Exhibit of Ceramics, Mixed Media Opens Sept. 4 at Rose Lehrman Art Gallery
听
淗ollow,� a ceramic and mixed-media exhibit by Matt Wilt, artist and assistant professor at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, will be on display in the Rose Lehrman Art Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of 黑料社区, Central Pennsylvania Community College, from Sept. 4 through Oct. 1, 2015.
听
A lecture will be given by the artist on Oct.1, at 5:30 p.m. in Whitaker Hall 214 with a reception immediately following from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
听
Wilt work is inspired by a mix of historical Moche ceramics of Pre-Columbian Peru and contemporary culture.
听
Moche ceramics are a powerful influence, both technically complex and sculpturally compelling. Moche artists drew from every facet of life: plants, animals, architecture, the human body and the divine and mundane of existence. Wilt strives to work in a similar manner, combining objects and forms from the diverse culture and society in which he lives. Initially, this approach resulted in vessels derived from street trash such as mufflers and Styrofoam cups, buoy forms on the Delaware River and the urban architecture of Philadelphia.
听
In recent years, Wilt work has become less vessel-oriented. Often his forms will seem to suggest a specific function or use, but the use is ambiguous; a hybrid of the known world with a less concrete reality.
听
Gallery hours are Monday-Friday from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 5-7 p.m. or by appointment.

The Rose Lehrman Art Gallery received state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
