Doug Knotts Exhibit The public is invited to attend a reception Saturday March 8 from 7-9 pm at the Southern Arts Society for J. Doug Knott’s exhibit “Anthropomorp hic Beings & Ritual Objects” - on view through March 29. “The anthropomorphic work exhibited in this show reflects my interest in storytelling, and in pottery, or art that explores a narrative or even a fragment of narrative. People in the South are great storytellers; my family fits well within this tradition and it has been followed in my family by my late grandfather and aunts who sculpted and painted the daily activities of their life. So while I am concerned about the formal aspects of my work, the reason that I make artwork at all is that need to tell stories. In most of this work the viewer must contribute to the story. I have created characters, ideas, animal and people forms and ritual objects that you can use to populate and build your own storyline around. These objects can carry meaning for you in any number of ways, depending on what you bring to the experience of owning them and placing them in your home, or in giving them as gifts to people that you love and share your life with. Most of the work in this exhibit is soda fired stoneware, a firing technique chosen because it reveals even the fingerprints of the maker, and accentuates slip and glaze colors in the cone ten reduction firing that effectively makes firing the kiln part of the creative process. I have formulated the glazes, slips and clay bodies to take advantage of the firing technique.” Doug is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Visual Arts in the School of Performing and Visual Arts at Gardner-Webb University.
