This fall I'm having an exhibition at the Winchester Thurston School in Pittsburgh. The show is kind of a combination of installation and learning lab for art. To get a whole show into one small truck, the large paintings were made unstretched, with grommets for hanging (unstretched canvases can be rolled for transport, which saves a lot of cargo space). The gallery at the school is kind of a multipurpose room, so the teacher who runs the gallery put up the colorful traffic cones (borrowed from the PE department) so that all the various people who use the room won't run into the art. It's all been an interesting experience. The best part has been working with these extremely engaged students - they have all been a joy.

I've been working some more on the Swamp Drawings that I completed several months ago. I have mounted each drawing on a painting panel and added paint to the backgrounds. Each finished painting is now ready to hang, and measures 12 inches high by 9 inches wide by 3/4 of an inch deep.
The installation that has been in process since my residency at the Vermont Studio Center was completed by its installation in an exhibition as part of the NCECA national conference. NCECA stands for National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts; the conference was held in late March in Seattle. The exhibition, titled "Distillations & Eruptions", was selected as a Concurrent and Independent Exhibition as part of the conference.
To see more photos of the installation, go to the Game Pieces page on this site: http://www.priscillahollingsworth.com/game-pieces.html To learn more about the Distillations & Eruptions exhibition, try this site: http://distillations.weebly.com/the-exhibition.html The exhibition included installation works by 4 additional artists.This was a monster project, more than a year and a half in the organizing. Besides all of the gathering of artists' names for consideration, there was the application process through the conference, a real roller coaster ride of waiting for NCECA to find a good venue (they did), and then an application process to propose a panel discussion at the conference that amplified themes from the exhibition (we were fortunate to have that come through, also). I'm finishing a month as an artist-in-residence at the Vermont Studio Center. Howard Romero is doing a project in which he photographs every resident who's willing, at the end of every month.
