Galleri Vox has invited me to submit three art pieces for the 2014 group exhibition, "30 x 30." The show will feature works by 50 Bergen artists, with a total of 150 small works for sale. A portion of the sales will benefit artists with disabilities who have a nice opportunity to work in the studios hosted by Galleri Vox. Please join us at the opening Thursday, 27 November at 5:00 p.m. Here is a preview of three works by Laurie Poast that will be included in the exhibition.<br />

The dark nordic winter is almost upon us, with days of rain and wind and waterfalls rushing down the mountains surrounding our city. I have holes in both my rainboots, but I can't keep from smiling as I lean into the gusts of wild wind and leaf-filled streams filling the streets. My <a href="https://www.etsy.com/no-en/listing/94546969/grass-roof-cottage-faroe-islands?ref=shop_home_active_16">little Scandinavian houses</a> are wrapped with shadows as they look out the studio window at Ulriken mountain.

From America to Holland to Norway, 2009 to 2014. Today Norway is my home, and Yves' home, and Leikny's home. Today I work as an artist, breathing in all that surrounds me here, and from it, creating. My aesthetic has changed with as much hardship, pain of loss, curiosity, and remarkable joy as has my life in these years. This blog discusses my journey.</div>

My new shipment of clay came in, and I was soon quite busy with all sorts of new creations. I'm working with a natural air-hardening clay that contains minerals and natural cellulose fibers that harden my pieces strongly and naturally without kiln firing. It's a beautiful non-toxic clay that comes from the coast of Spain. Into the wet clay body, I'm mixing Dutch artist pigments ground by a windmill here in Holland, the Verfmolen de Kat. I've put the pigments into old medicine bottles, and their colors bring a sort of rich, earthy vibrance to my atelier. I adore the work of mixing them by hand, in the tradition of the Dutch Masters like Vermeer and Rembrandt. Young Rembrandt lived just a few steps from my door.</div>

I've created several groupings now of clay art objects, all representations of European residential architecture. The forms are extremely simple, yet recall enough character of their inspirations to be quite recognizable.</div>

The repetition of vertical Dutch canal houses in a row of earthy ochres and terra cottas, the stoney textures of white farmhouses on the French countryside, The shiny green enamel on the charming cottages of Zaanse Schans, Holland, and the beautifully raw but vibrant pastel surfaces of the houses built on the jutting cliffs of Italy's Cinque Terre all call to mind the familiar scenes of home in Europe.<br />
