The Chinalais will tell us about their adoption of a school in Thailand. A portion of their sales goes toward their work with the children.
11:15 am, back at Collected Works: We will have a presentation by Taos artist, Deborah Rael-Buckley. Deborah is a ceramic and mixed media “narrative” sculptor from Taos, whose work is a “balanced combination of architecturally-informed shapes, layered archetypal imagery, and detailed graphic surfaces rich in color and texture. Her work seeks to tell a story of contained memory through a series of figure and chair-based forms layered with what she terms ‘the taxonomy of memory’: the layering of personal, cultural, historical and biological imagery.” Museums and private collectors, all over the US, have collected her work.
