Mining the Collection: Dimensions of Dark featuring the work of Cathy Richardson
APRIL 3, 2012, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
OPENING RECEPTION: Doug Adams Gallery.
Since the opening of the Doug Adams Gallery in 2009, we have been reflecting on our relationship with the Badè Museum, and on the connecting currents that unite our respective missions.
Catherine Richardson grew up near the Moors and Dales of Yorkshire England and attended Art College in London for her BFA. The natural world has always provided poetic intrigue for her, and she has used painting, sculptural installations and drawings as a platform to explore various ways of expressing the phenomenology of place.

CARE secures 2 year loan of "Black Triangle" for PSR campus
Renowned Bay Area artist John Toki's sculpture "Black Triangle" was installed at the entrance of Pacific School of Religion’s Doug Adams Gallery and Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology on March 1.
Toki shaped the piece through inspiration related to elements found in nature. Mountainous forms inspired the roughly sculpted surface and it is meant to mirror the topography surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area. The blue, purple, and teal colors reflect water and sky patterns. Made in 1994, the sculpture is made from a combination of twenty different pigmented ceramic stoneware and porcelain clays, and stains. The colorful detail work on the front of the sculpture is made from colored porcelain inlays, and sculpted into the piece while it was damp clay. After drying for three months the piece was fired to 2300 degrees Fahrenheit, over a period of five days, and then cooled for five days. The work had been on loan to the University of San Francisco from 2002 until 2011. John Toki was born in the Bay Area into a family that savored the rich Japanese tradition of ceramics. He was an apprentice to Stephen De Staebler and has worked in clay for over 35 years. LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS ARTIST >
