Light, colour and a sense of whimsy always brightens up the day. Whenever we find these aspects in a work of art or craft, we should bring the object into our domain. That way our future will be brighter for it. In this exhibition you'll find it difficult to select just one work as all exhibits brighten the spirit.

Mavrick's glass art captures colours that shift their intensity as light plays on or through the surface. Slumped shallow plates tell of journeys and open up doorways to dreams. Hanging panels offer black line drawing around which we can build a story. For example, The Glass Slipper has a Persian shoe drawn on a golden pillow that rests in a sea of midnight blue, while in the lower right corner a small wand encourages the magic. Then too there are panels that suggest a 'narrative' via small coloured squares, symbols for spoken or written words perhaps. Red Stories hosts solid blue and multi-coloured pieces of glass that bring to mind hieroglyphs. But for pure peace of mind find the ethereal Bamboo or fall into the rich moss green of Enchanted Forest. Highly impressive work.

Schell's excellent constructions of porcelain and timber, found objects and imagination provide an  interactive experience that delights. The gallery comes alive with rings and chimes, ooo's and ahhh's as viewers can't resist the artist's invitation to enjoy her work. The contrast of aged timber, rusted metal and pristine white porcelain conjures up concepts of respect for objects that served their purpose so well they are now revered. But these are no museum pieces, they are functional, thought provoking and very well crafted. The doorbells On the Endless Search For and Wine Goblet are particularly appreciated; the former for its precision of construction, the latter for it's sound. Both for their visual and tactile interest. I also like The Corkus where four 'bottle people', each with a distinct personality, are framed in a manner that suggests either a family portrait, police line-up or political publicity picture. I've named them all.

The only names for Shelsher's clay figures are You, Me and Us as these androgynous folk capture the heart and mind of everyone. We also find boats, birds and buildings as references to inner journeys, freedom and the sense of belonging. But where the artist suggests serious concepts she doesn't burden us with angst. Instead the whimsy of individual sculptures and group exhibits invite the viewer into a world where smiles erupt as we identify aspects of ourselves. Yes the human condition is a mystery but one that is more often then not worth celebrating. The turned up corners on mouths of sculptures and visitors alike confirm the fact. I do like Lovers Journey and how it depicts the perfect partnership; as one searches the other guides, where one braves the other supports, as both are in the same boat. And Nest brings to mind ideas on suburbia and how the human herd animal attempts to create group solitude. The simple lines and good humour of Shelsher's constructions cannot hide this artist's fine ability to communicate seriously in clay.

See this exhibition, you'll come away with a healthy attitude.
