The inspiration gleaned from living in Rappahannock County will surface in this two-sister exhibition of Jeanne Drevas’ and Nina Moore’s clay and handmade paper works opening at Middle Street Gallery from 3 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2.
Drevas will show work in lowsalt fired porcelain, a technique she developed during her three-year stay in Switzerland. Moore will feature new work from her experimentation with handmade paper. Both sisters are drawn to the natural world of Rappahannock County and compelled by the land on which they live to create.
Drevas uses indigenous materials with her clay vessels, marrying pots and the vines that grow up every tree in the county. Her newest work incorporates the secrets of primitive wood firing on highly burnished porcelain pots with salt and copper-sulfate thrown in. Burning slowly all night in a simple brick enclosure with sawdust, her pots are etched w ith the alchemy of the cosmos. Her newest work is developing from a fascination with the intricate WTappings of Egyptian mummies. The results are more indicative of metamorphisis than of preserving the dead.
