Ceramic artists (25) will collaborate in an interactive public art exhibition. Combining secrets with
the clay medium was inspired by the 4000 year old “Phaistos Disk”, a Minoan clay treasure,
unearthed in 1908 Crete, but never deciphered. Motivated by the historic disk and contemporary CD /DVD
discs, carriers of “mysterious” electronic information, ceramists will embed secret messages
in CLAY DISCS. Visitors will make charcoal rubbings of the discs on paper to de-code them. DISH Gallery
+ Studio will mount the rubbings as a group exhibition. Other works by ceramists exhibiting secret-bearing
discs will be available at the gallery. See “wheel throwing” or create your own Secret Disc
with your secret coded message in a ball of clay. Take it home, squish it to protect your secret, or
have it kiln-fired for permanence.
