LLA Artcore  Center Gallery 120 Judge John Aiso St. Los Angeles, CA "Robert Glover: A Survey of Work"  October 1999

 

Artist's Commentary 1998: "I was drawn to the puissant elegance of totems. Using varied clay forms combined to create a visual syntax, bringing to mind stacked  stone monoliths, which are both precarious and potent. The resultant pilaster has the uneasy feeling of imbalance we experience while standing on one leg (monopeds). By using the juxtaposition of sensual and symbolic, my intention is to articulate the conceits of balance through tension and articulation.. These sculptures are formed by using a variety of techniques, such as slab, coil and press-molds. The glazing and firings are multiple and layered. The sculptures are the result of stacked forms supported on a steel armature and secured to a base. 

A survey covering 22 years of Glover's work was presented by LA Artcore Center at Union Center for the Arts, 120 Judge John Aiso Street <Little Tokyo> in Los Angeles.     Website: http://www.laartcore.org   Phone 213.617.3274                FAX 213 616.0303
