In his first exhibition in White River Jct, Mr. Shvetsov has created ceramic columns, looking ever-so-much like Russian stoves, images of faces draw, painted and glazed on their surfaces from American pin-up art from the 1950s and 60s. One male column. One female.
And, in our front windows, a Menagerie of Living Flies, all locally produced and buzzing. “Pandora’s Box” is constructed from ceramic tile. You will never see anything like it! Or, perhaps you will. They are flies, and they will be doing the things that flies do. But you may not have seen flies in a Museum before. Now is your chance. Come and see it.
