The imagery…can come to me in dreams; can be hidden in old photographs, found within First Nations legends, or simply though experiences.” Also featuring local artist Carollyne Yardley’s quirky squirrel paintings and new work by Samuel Jan, Logan Ford, Jen Wright, Pete Kohut and Lisa Rose. 977A Fort St. 778-430-5585, www.victoriaemergingart.com. “BLUE MAGIC TEAPOT” BILL BOYD, 5.5 X 7.5 INCHES, CLAY WITH CRYSTALLINE GLAZE Throughout January BILL BOYD: NEW CERAMIC WORKS The Avenue Gallery Bill Boyd of Galiano Island began making pottery in 1970, in Sweden, where he worked with several talented potters and taught ceramics. Over time, the Scandinavian influence melded with an Asian aesthetic, bringing Boyd to his signature work of classic simplicity. Since 2002, his traditional forms have become the playground for explorations into crystalline glazing; he is one of the leading names in this challenging, relatively new process that involves growing zinc-silicate crystals in the glaze at high temperatures. 2184 Oak Bay Ave. 250-598-2184, www.theavenuegallery.com. “LIGHTNING” DYLAN THOMAS, 13.75 X 21.25 INCHES, SERIGRAPH EDITION 100 Throughout January GALLERY ARTISTS Alcheringa Gallery Featuring new serigraph releases by Coast Salish artists lessLIE and Dylan Thomas, handpulled lino prints from Ake Lianga, and more.
