Still celebrating its relocation and expansion last October, the venerable Craft Alliance continues to delight devotees of visual art with “Pattie Chalmers: Every Thing and More.”
That solo exhibition, which resides in the nonprofit’s Staenberg Gallery, runs till March 20, including an artist talk on its final day at 11 a.m.
Chalmers, both an accomplished ceramist and a professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, serves as head of undergraduate studies in the university’s School of Art and Design.
Regarding “Every Thing and More” – whose title alludes to what a Craft Alliance press release dubs “objectness” – she briefly mulls a viewer’s potential reaction, aesthetic or otherwise, to the works on display.
