This April Pottery Place Plus is pleased to present the resin art of Karen Vollmer-Poseley and the sculpted wool of Mia Simonsen.

Karen finds the magic of the resin art form is in the process of watching each piece become unique in the final form ~ no two pieces are alike!

Mia's "Owl Song Feltery" creates botanicals out of wool ~ cactus and succulents were her first botanicals of choice, and more recently mushrooms and other fungi.

Karen's resin art and Mia's needle felting allows them to design botanicals year-round. Stop by PPP in April to view their "botanical art" ~ stop by PPP in the historic Liberty Building on First Friday April 3rd from 5-8pm to meet the artists!

We exist in a moment of over-stimulation and information saturation, a moment where a short descriptive paragraph can create a beautiful, sparkling image for us, but then be quickly forgotten and dissolved back into the ether of the internet. These bits of data are reassembled into images or video, which can be visually interesting, but a bit disconcerting at times. This work is a playful way to make commentary on the serious questions about AI art. Using very simple pre-programmed vacuuming/mopping robots with some minimal modifications I wrangle the robots to produce something visually interesting. The catch is, just like AI, these robots cannot do it on their own. They need input and a lot of help from a person to make the art.
