March 23rd–April 21st, 2007 Recurrent Nightmare A Ceramic and Metal Installation by Chelsea Hunt Opening Reception is Friday March 30th, 2007, 6-9pm Chelsea Hunt’s ceramic and metal installation depicts a recurrent childhood nightmare in which she is playing a frightening game of hide and seek with giants. The dollhouse-size scale of the installation draws the viewer into her tiny environments. As the viewer explores these environments, they become the giants themselves, hovering over the domestic scenes searching for the hidden child. The main focus of the installation is a dollhouse reminiscent of old tin dollhouses. A giant voyeuristically peers into the dollhouse as children hide in secret domestic spaces within.   Chelsea Hunt is a Ceramic Artist and Adjunct Professor of Ceramics at the Metropolitan State College of Denver. She is currently showing at this year’s NCECA (National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts) in Louisville Kentucky and will be featured in Confrontational Clay, a text written by Judith Schwartz, Ph.D. Associate Professor: Sculpture in Craft Media, New York University.
