FEATURED ARTIST JURY PANEL MMoCA is pleased to welcome the 2018 <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> on the Square LINDA LEIGHTON founded Higher Fire Clay Studio in Madison, WI, in 1998. Higher Fire is both a working clay studio and gallery of pottery, ceramic art, and handmade jewelry. It serves the community through classes for all ages and abilities, by providing a place for artists to do their own work, and as an outlet for potters and jewelers to show and sell their artwork. Leighton became intrigued with ceramic tile through the purchase of an older home with tile floors made by California artist Batchelder, and this attraction to handmade tiles was strengthened by travels in Spain. As well as running Higher Fire, Leighton is a ceramic artist concentrating on tile-making and hand-building. Linda was one of a small group of volunteers that started MMoCA’s Gallery Night in Madison almost 30 years ago. JUSTIN MARABLE MMoCA selected printmaker Justin Marable to be the 2018 <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> on the Square Featured <strong>Art</strong>ist. Marable lives in Lawrence, Kansas with his wife and three daughters. From his studio and home, he creates art in various styles and subjects that span across the vast social landscape. For several years, he has developed a diverse audience through his printmaking process and distinct style. His work is included in various private and public collections nationwide and has appeared in local, regional, and national publications. The 2018 featured artwork, Primordial Pump, is a serigraph/monoprint produced as a part of a series of prints featuring legendary creatures. In this particular scene, a color-drenched moment of revelation occurs as the true primordial source of fossil fuel is unearthed. With prisms of rainbow magic and star dust defense, prehistoric plant life blooms from the remains of an abandoned gas station. Throughout the series, the Waste Not Mystic unicorn defies impending doom, restores lost beauty, and unlocks magic from within. Primordial Pump will be on display and available for bidding in the silent auction tent during the fair. ARTIST BOOTH: 426 DAVID SMITH is Professor of <strong>Art</strong> at Edgewood College, in Madison, WI. His work in ceramics focuses on the creation of wood-fired vessels and sculpture. Since 1978, Smith’s passion for wood-fired ceramics allowed him to travel and work with a broad range of artists in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Montana, Arizona, Florida and Wisconsin. He counts his experiences with American Masters Peter Voulkos, Rudy Autio, and Don Reitz as influential in countless ways. In 2005, Smith worked with noted Korean and Japanese artists at the 3rd World Bienalle in Yeoju, Korea, and has since exhibited in Japan and China. For decades Smith has created ceramic art that reflects East Asian methods and aesthetics while maintaining a sensibility that is undeniably Western.
