Stop, Pivot, Romp: Tactics for Art Making
Becca Devenish

www.beccadevenish.hotglue.me/ @becsterbec

Nov 7 - 11, 2023

Gallery 3

Undergraduate exhibitor

Stop, Pivot, Romp: Tactics for Art Making, features wheel-thrown forms and hand-built clay pieces. Assembled like toy construction blocks these pieces explore shape, colour, by creating 3-dimensional forms based on abstract drawings that change the function and meaning of the individual components. 

Devenish’s work speaks of movement. It resembles spiritual, intellectual, emotional movement and growth and how physical movement can symbolize the internal movement of one's heart expansion. The way the pieces will be constructed, using space, her body, many distinct aspects of building and how things are lopsided, tilted, and off-kilter will demonstrate these thoughts about internal growth and change.
