Janet Neuwalder will discuss the evolution of her work from traditional wheel thrown and hand built vessels to her current mixed media work and sculptural wall installations. Images will include the rigorous investigation of and revaluation of the meaning of "containment" and how Neuwalder was able to develop a new language in process and a rethinking of ceramic materials. Much of her recent work is large-scale sculptural wall installations. The work is assembled from hundreds of fragments that seemingly float on the wall, creating a visually active topographic surface. The work expresses movement, playfulness and a sense of history and time.

Neuwalder received her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in Kansas City, Missouri and a Master of Fine Art from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Neuwalder has been exhibiting her work nationally since 1984. She has taught art at numerous universities and colleges throughout the United States. She currently maintains a studio in Ventura, CA and teaches at Cerritos and Pierce College. Free. All are welcome!
