Memories in ContourRed River LinesExploring Balance Series 10Dear Friends,

I just wanted to let you know about a project I’ve been selected to participate in. It’s called Colorado ArtBeat and it’s a documentary film series profiling 8 visual artists living and working in Colorado. The producers, FuseMedia, are using a crowdfunding model to fund the series and I – along with the other 8 artists -have donated works of art to help make it happen.

Please go to the Indiegogo campaign: https://igg.me/at/coloradoartbeat.

Check it out, and see if you’d like to contribute or purchase one of my artworks (posted above) to make this film series a reality.  The campaign runs from November 1-December 1 so we have a limited time to raise the funds needed to produce the film.

About Your Donation:

If you decide to donate, please make sure to contribute in my name. The artworks or “perks,” will be delivered in January.

About Colorado ArtBeat:

It’s a documentary film series that explores the work, influences, process, and inspiration of 8 talented artists in a 10 to 15 minute film. The series will show on the Colorado ArtBeat website and social media channels, with the ultimate goal of having the series air on Rocky Mountain PBS.  In addition, the artist will be able to use the film for their own personal and professional purposes.

About FuseMedia:

FuseMedia is a video production company based in Aspen, Colorado.  This project is an outgrowth of a series of artists’ profiles that they did for Plum TV (an Aspen based TV Channel) 10 years ago for which they won regional Emmy nominations for cinematography and editing.

Complexity Breached, porcelain paper clay

     

We are excited to present new work by Sara Ransford. Please join us on Friday, July 22nd to celebrate the opening of this exhibit.

Sojourn in Balance #6, porcelain paper clay

 

Michael Warren Contemporary (MWC) is pleased to present “The Line to Follow” with artwork by Sara Ransford.

The unique qualities of paper clay allow Ransford to explore disparate relationships by incorporating torn and fragile components ultimately representing the monumentality of even the most intimate, complex spaces. “I explore the natural world in my sculptural forms. I am fascinated by the complexity in nature, and how that complexity reflects itself in our own world. The forces of erosion, the aspect of time, traces of experiences recorded over eons, only to be changed in a single moment can create such vulnerability and duplicity in things we do not anticipate,” says Ransford.

She has been an artist in residence at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, CO and has also taught workshops there and across Colorado.
