MILFORD, PA — The ARTery will host an exhibit entitled “Into...,” featuring the ceramic art of David Greenbaum and mixed media printmaking of Carol M. Mainardi, in August. There will be an opening reception on Saturday, August 8, from 6 to 9 p.m., part of Milford’s Art After Dark festival. The gallery is located at 210 Broad St.

As a floundering college student, Greenbaum had the good fortune to encounter a professional potter. Once he was exposed to the wonders of clay and the possibility of making a life around it, pottery became a means and vocabulary to satisfy his inclination to create objects and shape his reality. During a 40-plus-year career as a potter, he has made work of diverse character and motivation, ranging from 400-pound architectural vessels to utilitarian kitchenware.

Through the use of paint and other mediums, Mainardi has discovered a metaphor for her life’s journey embodied in the image of the mermaid. Beginning as a self reflective artistic endeavor, Mainardi soon discovered the archetypal element within the mermaid reflecting, in many ways, the journey of all women. Mainardi’s artistic exploration resulted in a series of heartbreaking, revelatory and sensual creatures engaged in a fight not only for survival, but also for love.
