Eric Kirby - July 2 to September 12, 2024
The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Eric Kirby at the Community Center Gallery, on view Ju1y 2 to September 12, 2024.
“I never stopped playing with toys. I was always curious how they seemed to move on their own and how they ended up in the most random locations. I would create elaborate stories to explain their journeys. This faded as I got older, but the urge to tell these stories returned when I had kids of my own. The stories became more elaborate, the imagery became more deliberate and the mythology deeper. I love the juxtaposition of the toys interacting with the real world, creating a narrative of their own. Each photo creates a link to the magic around us and lets the viewer tap into those lost stories we cherished in our youth.”

Saori Matsushita - July 11 to August 30, 2024
The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are excited to present the work of Saori Matsushita at the Community Center Gallery, on view Ju1y 11 to August 30, 2024.
“These works are based on my hypothesis that ceramics are artificial stones, aiming to imitate natural stones. Using the Neriage technique, I combined different ceramic materials with distinct properties, such as porcelain, stoneware, and glazes, to create these pieces. This is not an attempt to follow traditional Japanese ceramic styles but rather an endeavor to recreate the philosophy rooted in the relationship between Japanese nature and craftsmanship.”
