Well recognized for her ceramic work combining fascination with the wild diversity of the animal kingdom, extremes of human behavior and a skeptically humorous approach, Julie Clements brings new work to view in Tethered, coming soon to Transmission Gallery in Oakland.

With toylike trappings, Clements' delightfully whimsical exotic birds and unusual creatures come freighted with commentary. Engaging and earnest, they slyly poke at a culture tethered to Social Media, and careening toward the future like lemmings following the crowd. The work is a lot of fun, we can recognize oh so much about Us (or Them), but this is serious business!

All are invited to join us for the Opening Reception, July 22nd from 1-4 pm. Greet the artist, check out the new work and enjoy light refreshments on our lovely outdoor deck. Free street parking nearby.
