Lot Description: Introducing a remarkable fine art ceramic installation by one of Minnesota's most celebrated ceramic artists, S. Dennis Frandrup. This installation features three plates that simulate the passing of time, taking the viewer on a journey through serene tranquility to wild chaos and back again. S. Frandrup's background as a Benedictine nun shines through in the contemplative, tranquil character of her work. As you gaze upon the first plate, you are transported to a placid lake surface, still and flat in that unmistakable cloudy green hue that gently coaxes forward memories of long-gone Minnesota summers. But as your eye follows the installation down to the middle plate, an eruption of motion and color explodes before you. A pebble breaks the ceramic liquid surface, generating dynamic rings of ripples that emanate from the center-point. Clouds of red-brown silt swirl wildly in the chaotic motion of the waves. It's a breathtaking moment that leaves you captivated. But as your eye continues down to the final plate, the excited rings fade into an echo, and the swirling silt settles down beneath that familiar green glow. The viewer is returned to the stillness of the first plate once again. S. Frandrup's masterful use of space to simulate the passing of time and her ability to transform rigid ceramic into flowing water is a brilliant demonstration of her proficiency as an artisan and her imagination as an artist. This installation is not just a stunning work of art but also a meditation on the ebbs and flows between tranquil and chaotic times. If that cycle sounds familiar to you, perhaps this piece might serve as a reminder that peaceful times are closer than you think. See photos for details.
