CARE secures 2 year loan of "Black Triangle" for PSR campus
 Renowned Bay Area artist John Toki's sculpture "Black Triangle," installed at the entrance of Pacific School of Religion’s Doug Adams Gallery and Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology, will remain on display through early 2014.
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 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 2300º F, over a period of five days, and then cooled for five days.
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.

Twin Bandits, Spring 2013
This solo exhibition features the intricate ink drawings of Bay Area artist Pamela Lanza.
Images in this show give voice to the troubled times we face with dark atmospheric illustrations depicting the wreckage of war and natural disasters, but at the same time offer a sense of spiritual grace rising out of the rubble. Lanza's work invites viewers to consider aspects of spiritual transcendence lingering in the apparent wastelands of human experience. EXHIBITION DETAILS >

Mining the Collection: Site/Structure featuring David Sleeth
Opening Reception: June 6th, 2013 5-7pm in The Doug Adams Gallery
Each year, an artist is invited by the Doug Adams Gallery to create a body of work inspired by the Badè Museum of Biblical Archeology, and its collection of objects spanning a period of 3,000 years. The artist-in-residence gains access to the entire Badè collection, and, in consultation with museum staff, conducts research that informs their final exhibition. The Mining The Collection series fosters cross-disciplinary dialogue and brings to life significant Iron Age, Babylonian and Persian Period artifacts, placing them in a new contemporary context.
