Billy Cho (Artist): My works are inspired by many disparate things that surround me in my daily life. My works are often connected to our daily use. I have an unquenched curiosity - what can I create with the material? I alter and use different thickness of slip to create different line qualities and subtle surface changes that create a sense of space within the form of the work. My intention is to draw attention to a vital element of everyday life. The forms and surfaces I use are often inspired by contemporary ceramics as well as historical references. I am interested in traditional Japanese ceramics and its relationship with nature. The history of different cultures and the base of contemporary ceramics provide an opportunity to interpret forms from the past and inspire me to keep creating more. Items can be collected after the live auction. If you are not attending the Gala, you may pick up your items at The Galena Center for the Arts.
A note from Galena Center for the Arts: Welcome to our 2nd Annual Galena Center for the Arts Fundraising Gala. Our Gala is "Embrace the Experience," which is reflected in many of our auction items. Our online and in-person auction is raising money to support our arts programming, complete our new building's renovation, and purchase new theater equipment to update the lighting system, lighting board, and new curtains to replace those salvaged from old theaters. All auction proceeds will go directly to support these needs and fund the operation of the Center. THANK YOU to all of our generous donors who have given auction items and have sponsored this event, and THANK YOU for joining our auction and bidding generously! We wish you good luck with your bids!
