"Altitude", Raymond Warren exhibition of ceramic sculpture
26 chemin Sully Wakefield Qc
Galerie McKenzie Marcotte in Wakefield Qc is pleased to present an exhibition of wood fired ceramic sculpture by Raymond Warren. The pieces, based on the theme of altitude, have in common either the experience of elevation by various means such as soaring on a swing or walking on stilts or the suggestion of altitude as the figures gaze at the skies. Ceramics produced in wood fire kilns are exciting and unpredictable and these are certainly both.

Six Cities
General 54 54 St. Viateur, West
This is my way to escape into a world that’s just like ours – but a kinder version. Why can’t you have vast orchards in the middle of a city? Why are subdivisions – fragmented and false communities – so prevalent? Why can’t you build within existing geography and historical structures? Six Cities is an observation of the places I have travelled throughout North America this past year.
