Please join us for the opening reception at Clay Mix this Thursday!

Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture Exhibition
Tiffany Schmierer
January 7 - February 27, 2010

Clay Mix is proud to present a solo exhibition by San Francisco ceramic 
sculptor Tiffany Schmierer from January 7th through February 27th.
The opening reception with the artist is at 6pm on Thursday, January 7th 
during ArtHop.

Schmierer's sculptures are a playful and colorful collage of forms and 
imagery. Her sculptures incorporate many small parts which she calls her 
"vocabularies".  These parts are stacked and combined to complete each 
sculpture. The small parts represent a collection of moments and memories - 
fragments of a bigger whole. Sometimes the same "vocabularies" appear in 
different sculptures making a new set of connections.  Schmierer explains 
that "the way in which the pieces are combined represents aspects of who we 
are." She explores how we are shaped, affected, and linked by our 
environment. She also explores our relationships through the ways each 
element in the work connect with one another.

Tiffany Schmierer received her MFA from San Francisco State University in 
2004.  She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Skyline College. 
Schmierer has exhibited in national and regional shows and has been included 
in various private collections.

Clay Mix is located at 1003 N. Abby Street, Fresno, CA. The gallery is open 
from Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 6pm and Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
