Some are able to read faces at a rapid rate, piecing together the slightest movement or expression into a thought, mood, or statement. Artist <a href="https://m.facebook.com/rowenfosterart/" style="color: #fe4e47; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Rowen Foster</a> has taken the study of faces one step further and incorporated the contemplations of the human face and made it the primary outlet for her art. Using natural and figurative clay, concrete, wood, and metal cast work along with additional materials, Foster’s art deconstructs the dualities and contradictions between nature and man, the old and new, past and present. The beautiful elusiveness of what is real or unreal, what is concrete and what is ephemeral, spiritual, and perhaps harbors the potential for the presence of an ethereal realm.</div>

In her upcoming exhibition, <em>Herdra: Regenerated</em>, Foster gracefully grapples with her dedication to unwrapping the human condition through the emotions flowing through life, death, and the grief/loss process. Greatly encouraged by her parents Jeff Key and Ruth Foster along with a team of friends and instructors, this young artist is wise beyond her years in both word, spirit, and craft. She has gathered together a collection of what at first glance seems stoic sculptures that upon closer examination revel the sensational subtleties of expression and emotion. The rawness in color and form is elevated by the distinct hand Foster places in her pieces that range from fervent faces to organic shapes that seem to spill out and come alive from the pieces. Her much anticipated one night show is ramping up for this weekend and thankfully Foster took the time to answer some questions about herself and her art.</div>

<strong>Rowen Foster:</strong> Like most kids, I would always draw and I have some vivid memories of writing my first poems and reading them to my grandmother. I also did a lot of music and theatre related stuff, like playing the violin a few years, recorders, band, choir, voice lessons, musicals and plays; I loved everything. I went to the Waldorf School for four years in Honolulu and a year at a Waldorf-inspired school called Singing Winds in Riverside, Illinois. Waldorf schools originated in Germany and were created by Rudolf Steiner who had a very alternative view on education. During my time at the Waldorf School is when my art really started growing, as creative art forms — visual, musical, etc. — were directly integrated into the curriculum. I started getting familiar with clay and watercolor especially during that time.</div>

<strong>Foster:</strong> The Kansas City Art Institute has been absolutely wonderful, not only within school hours or during out of class studio time, but in the connections it has given me and allowed for me to grow entirely outside of the institution. I just finished my sophomore year, so I’m exactly at the halfway point. KCAI has a great Foundations department, which is what everyone goes through their first year. In Foundations, students work in developing a well-rounded understanding of visual art forms, moving from traditional to digital, classical to experimental, 2D to 3D, a lot of collaboration, and learning from a diverse variety of highly-skilled practicing artists that make up the Foundations faculty. After the Foundation year is when students declare their major. I chose Sculpture, and I also decided to double major in Creative Writing as we have an amazing liberal arts department and really incredible professors that have nourished my love for writing. In addition to double majoring, I have four work-study jobs, so school has kind of been my entire life for the past two years. But the fact that I can have four paid jobs through the school is just great, my two favorites are working in the Writing Lab to help students write essays and study for exams and being a tour guide for the school. Through the school, students also have endless internship opportunities, which I was lucky to experience just after my first year, working with Misty Gamble, a California based ceramic artist. My favorite things about the school are its size and the faculty. It’s extremely personal which I feel most education institutions are missing. The Sculpture department is just over thirty students with four faculty members. Some professors go so beyond their job requirements, like Michael Wickerson, the head of the Sculpture department, who essentially became my friend and mentor even though he was not officially my teacher. I worked very closely with him throughout the year, going out to his 14-acre land and studios almost every weekend to learn the subtleties of metal casting in his foundry, and helping him create an enormous, old fashioned, adobe and brick, atmospheric salt/soda/wood ash monster of a kiln that we call Herdra.</div>

<strong>FPH: Your upcoming show explores a variety of topics including man’s connection to nature, human psychology, stages of life, death, loss and healing. How do you convey some of those concepts through your work?</strong></div>
<div style="color: #353333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.2pt; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong>Foster:</strong> I have always paid a lot of attention to the little details about people and I analyze everything, I think I’ve always done this. Besides visual art, I was also considering going to school for Literature or Psychology. Then I found that visual art can and totally does include both of those fields. Human psychology, emotions, anatomy, and the human face and its endless expressions have always perplexed me. There is nothing more incredible than the human face and all its variations, differences, and similarities. Death is the most important thing about life, one cannot exist without the other, it is what makes life painful, horrible, hellish, but therefore, also, so beautiful. I’ve had a lot of personal experiences of death around my life for the past few years and it has become the driving force in my artwork, I really wonder how it would be otherwise. In my upcoming show, <em>Herdra: Regenerated</em>, I have a lot of vessels, something I usually don’t do. These vessels are actually urns, which I made for my grandmother, my greatest inspiration and supporting force, who passed away this past October. I wanted to make an urn for myself and for my mom to keep her in, and I wanted to make one to take to Ecuador, her homeland, to be interred with her family. I didn’t know how to make urns that I deemed worthy of this task, so I basically mass-produced them until I found the right ones. Now the rest can simply be vessels, or symbolic urns for the great numbers of the deceased or the concept of death itself. They are all entirely different from one another. Besides this, most of my work is figurative and demonstrates different expressions, some being hyper-realistic and some grossly distorted and exaggerated. Capturing and freezing a moment of expression that is beyond words is my goal when working figuratively, and it is my favorite thing to do. Humanity’s relationship to the natural world around them and how they interact with it is also a main focus for me and I show this by planting succulents and sticking dying and dead plants of different types in hollow orifices that I have created in my figurative ceramic works. This imagery of plants growing from human orifices was originally inspired by a quote from a story in William S. Burrough’s <em>Naked Lunch</em>, describing plant life bursting from disintegrating human statues. To me, it was the most beautiful image. I have also found references to similar imagery in some of Werner Herzog’s work (<em>Heart of Glass</em>, specifically) and in a song called Transdermal Celebration by Ween, my all time favorite band.</div>

Herdra, Herdra, Herdra:<br />
Herdra is many things.<br />
Herdra: a Hermaphrodidic entity, the hard rock maker<br />
Herdra is a time machine<br />
Herdra is a kiln</div>

Let me tell you a little about Herdra. I mentioned Herdra briefly before. Herdra has been a great accomplishment, helper, and inspiration to me. I have written poems and stories about her and over half of the work in the show was created inside of her! Herdra is the massive atmospheric kiln that I helped my friend and mentor and fellow sculptor, Michael Wickerson, create out of an adobe/cement concoction and old bricks that we saved from wasting away in a pile in the sculpture yard. It just so happens that my mom was visiting during the first few days of her creation and helped to lay the first bricks! I’ve seen a lot of Michael’s incredible work, but I have to say that nothing tops Herdra and what comes out of her. So we started heating her with just wood — one whole 40-year-old tree from Michael’s land that he personally fells every time — and coke (coal), which is how this traditional type of kiln originally functioned, then we added some propane to speed things up. Hedra fires to cone 10, which is 2500 degrees and takes 3 days, sometimes more, to complete a firing! I have held vigil and slept on the ground in front of this kiln after tending her until 3 am! As far as treatment of the pieces we put in her, there is no glaze, but an atmospheric, natural coloring that happens from blowing salt, baking soda, and wood ash into her peepholes. This is what I mean by atmospheric firing, as soon as the salt/soda blows in when it’s hot enough at 2500, it instantly vitrifies (turns to glass). We mastered surface treatment within the last few months, being able to create a smooth, glass finish in blues, greens, and natural, earthy, matt browns, yellows, maroons. We also make our own clay from scratch, sometimes we buy nicer colored clay and combine multiple clay bodies in one piece. There is nothing that compares to standing beside Herdra and feeling and hearing the scorching, searing, roaring heat that she emits and contains. It is awesome and incredible and seems to be beyond this world and beyond all time. That is why we also refer to Herdra as a time machine, among many other things: dragon, deity, kiln god, Baba Yaga and Her Hut, an old, drunken, temperamental, chain smoking, obese, Russian, hermaphrodite who throws tantrums and has an unending appetite — this is the personification of Herdra. We have created a community and mythology around this kiln and my greatest wish is to share and spread her name to as many places as possible to give her the fame she deserves. This is what I mean by <em>Herdra: Regenerated</em>, the show is an attempt to regenerate, as best as possible, some of the experience of working with Herdra and with Michael on his wonderful land that has inspired me so much. I want to share it with as many people as I can.</div>

Tom Montagliano is a well-known spacial sound artist touring the country to perform sound baths. He will be performing at Wickerson Studios on Tuesday August 16th at 8:00. Admission is free and there will be a hat passed around at the end of the event to help cover costs of travel and expenses for Tom.</div>

An Immersive Sound Bath is very similar in nature to a traditional sound baths, however, instead of playing instruments such as glass bowls or gongs, the sounds are created within a circle of 8 independent speakers utilizing the infinite possibilities of electronic sounds. With this unique setup, the movement and frequency of the sounds can be controlled on a very precise level using custom software to move sound in a circular pattern. The cyclical nature of the swirling sounds invokes a blissful and peaceful trancelike state unlike any other. Additionally, because the sounds selected are neutral (not from nature or traditional instruments) it enables listeners to become easily immersed in thought and to effortlessly project their own imagery onto the soundscape.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #60646c; font-family: 'Roboto Slab'; font-size: 1.1em !important; margin-bottom: 1.618em;">
The Immersive Sound Bath itself begins by inviting the group to create a cozy place for themselves on the floor with pads, blankets, pillows, and perhaps, an eye cover. Then there is a brief introduction and greeting followed by 50 minutes of ambient electronic music with 8 speakers setup in a circle around the group. After the immersion comes to a gentle closing, the session ends with a few minutes of silence as they slowly come back into awareness.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">Jorge Luis Borges wrote a
fascinating short story ‘Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius’ about a world, discovered
in an Encyclopedia, which slowly through the literary process, comes to posses
customs, philosophies, psychology, history, language and literature. So much so
that it inevitably grows to encompass and eventually overwhelm our own world.
Tlön and Uqbar are a world which:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">A secret and benevolent
society… arose to invent a country. Its vague initial program included
"hermetic studies," philanthropy and the cabala. From this first
period dates the curious book by Andrea. After a few years of secret conclaves
and premature syntheses it was understood that one generation was not
sufficient to give articulate form to a country. They resolved that each of the
masters should elect a disciple who would continue his work. This hereditary arrangement
prevailed; after an interval of two centuries the persecuted fraternity sprang
up again in America. In 1824, in Memphis (Tennessee), one of its affiliates
conferred with the ascetic millionaire Ezra Buckley. The latter, somewhat
disdainfully, let him speak - and laughed at the plan's modest scope. He told
the agent that in America it was absurd to invent a country and proposed the
invention of a planet. To this gigantic idea he added another, a product of his
nihilism (4): that of keeping the enormous enterprise a secret. At that time
the twenty volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica were circulating in the
United States; Buckley suggested that a methodical encyclopedia of the
imaginary planet be written. He was to leave them his mountains of gold, his
navigable rivers, his pasture lands roamed by cattle and buffalo, his Negroes,
his brothels and his dollars, on one condition: "The work will make no
pact with the impostor Jesus Christ." Buckley did not believe in God, but
he wanted to demonstrate to this nonexistent God that mortal man was capable of
conceiving a world.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">-- Jorge Luis Borges,
Labyrinths, 1988<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">Though I doubt Mike has
ever read any Borges, his sculptures and drawings attempt in their own way to
modestly duplicate Ezra Buckley’s efforts, in that they are the awkward
remnants of a machine-age which never happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">His sculptures are built
out of concrete, steel and bits of wood. There’s an industrial feel to them;
both in the sense that his work seems to be the creation of some foreign manufacturing,
but also because they’re the tools that would work in some unknown and
unknowable endeavor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">I’m tempted to say that
they seem to be the modernist leavings of a more primitive world. Of a
civilization left behind. An awkward society of giants able to lift monstrous
tools of stone and wieldy machines of iron. Yet, at the same time, those very
materials are those of the world of now. Concrete, forged steel and milled
wood. They’re the detritus of our industrially developed North America and its
crumbling manufacturing sector.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Futura;">And so, like Tlön, Uqbar,
Orbis Tertius, Mike’s sculptures are the firmament of a world not rediscovered,
but one created in toto and waiting, either for entropy to bury it again, or
for the lands of his fertile invention to overcome and overwhelm our own.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

These were produced using aluminum casting in 3000 pounds of resin sand molds at the Kansas City Art Institute by Michael Wickerson, sculpture chair at KCAI. Two KCAI alumni and one student (Keyan Alemifar, Piers Watson, and Joey Williams) were also involved in the project, and would see the decorative elements from casting, to finishing, to delivery at Zahner’s plant.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945402958966349696noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782291101010369323.post-13334531648602182502014-04-30T19:18:00.001-05:002014-04-30T19:18:21.221-05:00The good life, the best life!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is one of the questions the Apostle Paul addresses as he writes to the church in Corinth. He s not after some superficial outward tinkering, but instead a deep rooted, life altering change that takes place on the inside. In an age where pleasing people, puffing up your ego and building your résumé are seen as the methods to make it , the Apostle Paul calls us to find true rest in blessed self forgetfulness. In this short and punchy book, author Timothy Keller, shows that humility means we can stop connecting every experience, every conversation with ourselves and can thus be free from self condemnation. A truly gospel humble person is not a self hating person or a self loving person, but a self forgetful person.</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02945402958966349696noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782291101010369323.post-8177515741128495132014-04-25T22:46:00.001-05:002014-04-25T22:46:54.900-05:00Wickerson Studios - year four, 2014<br />

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'; font-size: x-small;">Absolute Freedom at Wickerson Studios! There is no other way to describe it. Imagine 11 acres of rolling hills and timberland in the middle of America. A place full of red earth with plenty of hardwood. What more could test the strength, endurance and imagination of any creative spirit? What do we really know about pioneering our own alternative buildings, forging a life for ourselves and constructing and operating our own kilns and furnaces? In fact, unless one has ever challenged themselves beyond the realm of theories and ideas and attempted a hands-on approach of demonstration and experimentation, absolute freedom may very well remain impossible to achieve.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Although most of the processes may appear filthy, exhausting and undesirable, it is my belief that the highest form of clarity in life cannot be achieved without the uncertainly and risk involved in chain-sawing raw timber into new-fangled dwellings, forging metal, firing clay bodies and casting molten bronze and iron. Courage and survival still stand hand in hand. Sustaining oneself depends on relying on ones own resources. Personal instincts, skills and feats of stamina continue to uncover and reveal the wonderful experiences that await us in our lives.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">As strange as many of the illustrations and photographs contain on this website may seem; my intention is to dig deep into our common desire to build our own foundations on this earth, disregard any traditional dogma, and allow for a more sensitive and better world to emerge.</span></span></div>
