James Freeman Exhibition

I stopped by the U of M Hospital yesterday to see a watercolor exhibit by Jill Stefani Wagner. Her "Tuscan Days" watercolors are really beautiful. Anyway, I didn't know until I got there that James Freeman (LCVA Member) has a collection of work right next to Jill Stefani Wagner's. Both exhibitions are a part of the University's Gifts of Art Program. I can't tell you what a pleasant surprise it was to stumble upon his exhibition. The lighting was perfect as the sun beamed through the skylights into the lobby making it an ideal spot for reflection. The name of his collection is a perfect description of his work. They lean heavily toward artistic expression as opposed to functional ceramic pieces. I especially enjoyed his "Archeological Series" pieces which had a crustlike texture unlike the typical smooth glaze finish.
