In Motion features the artworks of Carrie Creech and Gerri Green, whose practices explore movement and memory in painting and ceramics. Carrie Creech presents a series of ceramic vessels that capture fleeting gestures and fluidity within clay. Creech’s forms explore the dichotomy of space and surface, punctuated by curves and seams that embody a sense of captured motion. Gerri Green’s paintings celebrate the tranquility and ever-changing landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Green’s work captures the subtle motion of wind through trees, water, and clouds, offering glimpses of the natural beauty within national and state parks. Together, Creech & Green evoke the dynamics of nature and form.

About the Artists

Gerri Greene, a Canadian artist based in the United States, draws inspiration from the modern and abstract landscape movements of the 1920s. With a foundation in classical painting and drawing, her work reflects a refined artistic sensibility.

Carrie Creech was raised in the curiosity of sound and shape. From there she explored various materials and methods but found her grounding in clay.

She secured her undergraduate degree from Clemson University in ceramics under Mike Vatalaro and Sue Grier. Following, she continued her studies through various residencies (The Bascom & Starworks), assisting a wealth of ceramic artists (such as Suze Lindsay, Akira Sitake, Lindsay Oesterritter, & Kevin Snipes, etc.) and most recently — an apprenticeship with Penland based potter, Micheal Kline. 

The events of 2020 brought Carrie back to her hometown of Greenville, South Carolina which she translated into an opportunity to establish her studio, build her brand and share her passion of ceramics with the surrounding community.
