Description
This summer the price of oil soared to record highs, peaking at $147 a barrel on July 11th. In turn, food prices increased and the consumption of oil dropped. People's conversations returned to the real possibilities of alternative sources of energy. Liz Worthy’s upcoming ceramics show, Light Sweet Crude, reflects on these responses to the rising price of oil.On display in their ceramics semblances:
a life-sized porcelain oil barrel
a fleet of matchbox Priuses
other oil paraphernalia such as oil cans, funnels, and a gas can.
Worthy glazes her thin, whimsical pieces in a light blue celadon glaze before decorating them with rich dark brown designs and bright splashes of primary colors.
Light Sweet Crude runs November 21-December 1, 2008. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Saturday, November 22, 6-9pm. Ruby’s Clay Studio is located at 552A Noe Street in the Castro between 18th and 19th Streets.
