 TRIBUTARIES: Sarah Perkins
December 9, 2011 - February 19, 2012
National Ornamental Metal Museum
374 Metal Museum Drive
Memphis, TN 38106
901-774-6380 or 877-881-2326
Sarah Perkins is the first of the Metal Museum's Tributaries 2012 artists. As a maker of hollowware, she uses properties of the metal: the plasticity, the permanence and the dimensionality. As an enameler, she use properties of the glass: the preciousness, the texture and the color. In her work these properties function together to make a whole, with the two materials complementing and completing each other, rather than one being visually more important than the other. Her current work is primarily containers because she is interested in the social implications and uses of these forms. Subtle differences in shape affect the meaning of the piece dramatically: an open form is generous and a tighter one more austere and self-sufficient. Her exhibition will consist of lidded vessels and a cabinet made in collaboration with furniture maker Charles Radtke. Sarah Perkins teaches at Missouri State University.

Alchemy, a term that refers to a seemingly magical power of transmutation as well as the ancient chemical philosophy of turning base metal into gold or silver, can apply to enamel as it is magically transformed by heat. The 13th Biennial International Juried Enamel Exhibition and 9th International Juried Student Enamel Exhibition, sponsored by The Enamelist Society, highlights the best in contemporary enamels produced in the last 2 years. The International Juried Exhibition showcases the work of enamelists that demonstrate aesthetic and technical expertise.
