簡單的概念、線條的反覆，
組成萬花筒般的目不轉睛，
要像天體觀測一樣，
注目來自Brendan Monroe的超新星。
在不同角度觀察原生山色，在視覺上韻律起伏流動，
反覆地、接續著、延伸出去，
超越地域界線成為奇異視野。

What do you get when you pair talented artist Brendan Monroe, best known for his hypnotic, science-inspired illustrations and sculptures with Heath, best known for our crisp modern style? You get Blobography.
Adam Silverman conceived of and curated the show. “Brendan and I have known each other for about a decade. His work lives in a weird parallel universe to that of ceramics, but I could easily imagine the two worlds colliding and resulting in something very strange and exciting. When we invited Brendan to collaborate he responded enthusiastically.”
The collaboration was a deep one that stretched both participants. Brendan sculpted forms out of wood, which were born of his paintings and drawings of alternate landscapes that feel both real and surreal. Then, working with LA Clay Studio manager Alex Reed, the forms became molds, which met clay, which then met glaze.
The show will include a series of limited edition pieces from the collaboration, as well as unique sculptures, drawings and paintings.
Join us at a reception with the artist on Saturday, November 1, 2014 from 6–8:30 pm, share beer, wine and nibbles, and pick up some unforgettable art. The show runs through November 30 at Heath LA.
