The exhibit consists of over 50 functional earth-colored stoneware ceramic pieces that suggest a regional connection with Utah s landscapes. The majority of the pieces are unglazed on the outside and bring to mind the rock formations of Southern Utah with their sandstone reds, buffs and whites. His previous works have been shown at the Eccles Community Art Center, the Myra Powell Gallery, the WSU Collett Art Gallery and the University of Utah. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The series is composed of a mixture of watercolor, pastel and collage media that create a kaleidoscope of abstraction from which female figures emerge in varying degrees of perceptibility.
Attention is given to the heads and hands of the figures to emphasize the sense of introspection.
The works combine organic forms with lonely figures and a surreal atmosphere to create a contemplative response. Snell s work has previously been shown in Washington. Give us your feedback .
