Saratoga Clay Arts Center’s Schacht Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition featuring the sculptural works and expressive drawings of Michigan artist Mark Chatterley, May 1 through June 12th, with an opening reception on Saturday May 1 from 5-7pm.

About his work and this exhibition, Mark Chatterley states, “We all are experiencing the Coronavirus.  Most are wearing masks and practicing social distancing.  But I also experienced open heart surgery and having a near death experience.  It just sort of goes with 2020.  

“Having not been able to go into the clay studio for several months, I have spent my time drawing, escaping in drips of ink.  I have fun morphing the spots into organic forms that have a somewhat human quality to them.  These drawings are starting points for my new body of clay work.  I am asking questions about how I can make a massive form that is comprised of individuals in an organic embrace.”
