Earth and Spirit

Opening receptions, 7-9 p.m. April 26 and 1-4 p.m. April 27.
A dual exhibit from New Mexican artist Nora Naranjo-Morse, and her onetime student Henry Sosin, potter and gallery proprietor. A Tewa Pueblo Indian whose work has been shown at the White House, Naranjo-Morse is one of those many-splendored artists whose ability to work in many disciplines prompts us to envious appreciation. Besides the sculpture and printmaking on display here, she’s a published poet and video producer. So much for “those who can’t, teach.” She’s profiled alongside the likes of Roy Liechtenstein and David Bowie on a forthcoming documentary on creativity by 42-Up director Michael Apted. A doctor for 30 years, Sosin turned to pottery after retirement and has now been immersed in his art full-time for nearly a decade. His surgeon’s hands give him a deft touch in the complex construction of his pots, which draw their style from ancient forms used by Anasazi and Middle Eastern cultures.
