The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts is pleased to present Patricia Keller: The Lost City an exhibition of work created in Beatrice Wood’s studio in conjunction with the artist’s internship at the Center, on Saturday, March 14, 2020. The Opening Reception will begin at 2 pm, with the lecture presented at 4 pm.
Patricia Keller graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from California State University Channel Islands in 2019. She focused on ceramics, sculpture, and screen printing. Upon graduation, she was awarded an internship at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts.
The purpose of the internship was for Keller to develop a body of work inspired by working in Wood’s studio space and her vast library of arts and culture books. Lost City is the result. Keller combined imagery in the spirit of cultural artifacts and the Ojai Valley landscape using traditional ceramic construction with experimental decorative and sculptural techniques. Each piece is meant to evoke and honor human creativity.
Known for her exploration of materiality and process of clay, Keller experiments with decorative and sculptural elements on formal pottery forms with the intent to discover the metaphorical potential of the medium.
