Davie Reneau ceramics show at CU Jan. 19-Feb. 5, 2010 Glasgow, KY, potter uses primarily wood-fired kilns By Joan C. McKinney News form Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Davie Reneau, assistant professor of art at Campbellsville University, will hold an art show of wood-fired, functional ceramics January 19-February 5, 2010 in the Art Gallery at 205 University Drive, Campbellsville, KY. Reneau, of Glasgow will give a slide talk at 4pmET January 27 in room 102 in the Art Building with a reception in the Art Gallery from 5pmET to 6:30pmET following the talk. The public is invited to the talk, reception and show free of charge. The Art Gallery is open from 8am to 5pmET, Monday-Friday. Reneau is one of four Americans chosen to participate in the Mashiko International Ceramics in Mashiko, Japan in 2006. In 2001, she received a fellowship through the Sister Cities Artist Exchange Program to travel to Japan for workshop and slide lectures. In 2009, Reneau participated in the American Pottery Festival at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, Minn. In 2008, she participated in the National Yunomi Invitational at Akar Gallery in Iowa City, Iowa and at the National Teapot Invitational in Ceder Creek Gallery in Creedmoor, NC. She also has served as a panelist/exhibitor at the International Wood-Firing Conference in Flagstaff, AZ, in 2006 and at the International Wood-Fire Conference in Cedar Rapids, IA, in 2004. She won the "Best of Show" in 2003 at the Functional Review at The Clay Studio of Missoula, Missoula, MT.; and the "Best of Show" in 2001 at The Hand Held Cup Show at Odyssey Gallery in Asheville, NC. She received her bachelor of fine arts degree from Western Kentucky University in 1985 and her master of fine arts degree in 1995 from West Virginia University. Born and reared in Glasgow, Reneau spent summers before and during graduate school as a studio assistant at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina and Arrowmont Craft School in Tennessee. Reneau said her ceramic pots have always involved the rituals of food presentation and storage. "I've always had an immense respect for the history and tradition, required mastery of skill and intimate relationship with the user, commanded by functional pots." For the last ten years, she has fired her pots primarily in wood kilns. "I am attracted to spontaneous ash deposits, flashing and the beauty of naked clay exposed to raw flame," she said.She said she enjoys being physically involved in the firing process, "not just doing passive turn-ups on a gas or electric kiln." She said she even likes spending days cutting, hauling and stacking wood. "They are as comfortable and familiar to me as the long, hot days I spent as a child working in my dad's tobacco and hay fields." "There is an honesty and purity in intense physical labor directed toward an ultimate goal. This is the spirit I want my work to exhibit." The writer, Joan C. McKinney, is news and publications coordinator at Campbellsville University This story was posted on 2010-01-01 04:07:31
