Goff, McLaughlin & Newton
Susanne Hilberry Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by Shannon Goff (BFA 1996), Ryan McLaughlin and Gordon Newton, with a reception Saturday, September 29 from 6 — 8 pm.
In recent past, Shannon Goff’s work has been representational, stylized translations of an ordinary or extraordinary things – a Bell 47 built out of cardboard, an exaggerated rotary phone constructed entirely out of porcelain. Her most recent work, however, embraces abstraction and is heavily rooted in the practice of drawing. Still pushing the limits of a particular medium, these more intimately scaled ceramic sculptures seem much more intuitive, meandering and free. Drawings in space, they may suggest landscape, architecture or various networks and mapping.
Goff (b. 1974 Detroit, MI) received a BFA from University of Michigan, pursued post baccalaureate studies at Kyoto Sienna University in Japan, and received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2003. She currently lives and works in State College, PA. Her work has recently been included in exhibitions at Colorado State University, the Free Museum of Dallas and in Beijing, Berlin, Chicago.
