Village Studios
and Gallery in Greenville, SC, Features Works by Erin Jones and
Katherine Duncan Aimone
Village Studios and Gallery located in the Pendleton Arts District
of Greenville, SC, will present the exhibit, Body Language,
featuring works by Erin Jones, a Greenville ceramicist, and Katherine
Duncan Aimone, a painter who lives in Asheville, NC. The exhibit
will be on view from Oct. 1 - 30, 2010.
Erin Jones
Erin Jones is the niece
of Katherine Aimone, and the two have paired up to create an installation
of large-scale paintings and sculptural ceramics.
Both artists work abstractly and share the common theme of using
movement to guide their work. "I begin with a large, blank
piece of heavy paper on the wall that is almost as large as me.
I work within that space, generating marks without thinking, and
then I begin to find patterns and shapes, rhythms, and movements
that appeal to me. It's very freeing work. Keeping the work in
flux and putting my mind on hold is a goal throughout the process
as I edit and complete the painting," says Aimone.
Jones notes about her work in sculptural ceramics: "For me,
creating is a very intuitive, in-the-flow process, as I respond
bodily to the clay and other forces, such as gravity and time.
My work is very action/reaction. That's not to say that I don't
think and plan, I do... but that's usually not what happens once
I'm inside the studio. There's a rhythm, a dance, as I work. I
find that working on a larger scale contributes to this process."
Katherine Duncan Aimone

Art History and for most of her career has worked as a museum
curator and director as well as an editor/writer for Lark Books.
