Art exhibit 'Modern Artifacts: Ceramics and Other Obsessions' opens at CCC

OREGON CITY - The Alexander Gallery presents "Modern Artifacts: Ceramics and Other Obsessions," a solo exhibition of work by Vancouver-based artist Kim Murton. This exhibition runs April 1-May 3. An artist reception will be held Wednesday, April 10, noon-1 p.m. and Murton will speak about her work at 1 p.m.

In "Modern Artifacts: Ceramics and Other Obsessions," Murton shares hand-built ceramic sculptures, animation and illustrations inspired by her interest in pre-Columbian art, contemporary illustration and comics.

Murton studied ceramics and animation at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and printmaking and film at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City. Her work has been recognized nationally.

The Alexander Gallery is located in the Niemeyer Center on the Oregon City campus, 19600 Molalla Ave., and is open Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., with the exception of college holidays.
