“Slip the Body, Center the Mind” is a new exhibition featuring clay sculpture art from local artists Megan Adams Irving (Westford), Andrew N. Fitzsimmons (Owego) and Veronica Juyoun Byun (Utica). Their work is on view in the Martin-Mullen Gallery until March 7.

“Clay can absorb and hold the warmth of a hand, it remembers how it’s been shaped, and it retains a tactile quality when fired,” said SUNY Oneonta Art Gallery Director Sarah Simpson. “Irving creates ceramic sculptures that weave the connections between environments, both natural and man-made, into subtle structures that tease the edges of how we inhabit the world.

“Fitzsimmons pulls from ancient and contemporary stories to sculpt busts of allegorical fictional characters and symbolic vessels. Byun creates atmospheric installations that often repeat an object or design to interpret the effects of experiences, demonstrating the subtle variations and shifts that occur when a moment becomes a memory,” Simpson continued.

A reception for both exhibitions is set for Thursday, February 6 from 5-7 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the reception will be rescheduled for Thursday, February 13 from 5-7 p.m., officials said.

Admission to the galleries and receptions is free and open to the public, and visitors can receive parking passes through the University Police Department. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, contact Sarah Simpson at Sarah.Simpson@oneonta.edu or (607) 436-2445.
