Sculptor Otterson Exhibition Opens Feb. 18 at McGlothlin Center Gallery

by Dirk Moore

Works by renowned ceramic and mixed media sculptor Helen Otterson will be on display from Feb. 18 to March 23 in the McGlothlin Center Art Gallery in the McGlothlin Center of the Arts at Emory & Henry College.

An Artalk led by the artist will be held Monday, March 4, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Kennedy-Reedy Theatre of the Center. The Artalk and the exhibit are free and open to the public.

Otterson’s interest in biomorphic form originates from her experience with the human encounter with disease, which led her to observe organic growth and changes in cells. The extraordinary changes, the multiple forms and textures inspire tactile creations that reference the relationship between health and disease and explore the organic process of growth and replication.
