Force/Counter Force: Coming Apart/Coming Together by Silvija Singh

These abstract porcelain sculptures are about Repair and Renewal. In these works, Silvija embodies opposite ideas simultaneously. As the title Force/Counter-Force implies, first she tries to depict the overwhelming forces that at times hit us. These can be forces from nature, like hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, the shift of tectonic plates. But they can also be from people.

This is an amazing, unusual opportunity for sculptors that you do not want to miss! In this unique exhibit, work is juried by the visually impaired by touch. People will be able to touch the work and hear descriptions about the work, you, and your vision.

The exhibition's audience greatly appreciates the opportunity to engage in such a tactile way with artwork. It's so unique that it's been commented on by the National Library Association.

Consider submitting older work. Please reach out if you have any questions about how this exhibit works.

Wonderful evening at the open house for . With the vision of our president, and collaboration with various artists within SOS and outside of SOS it was wonderful to see how the fire tree has changed and blossomed into a visual dessert for the eyes! Congratulations!

Duncan MacDiarmid feels a connection to the land. The grit, moisture, light, and emotion that binds our human experience. This interest took him first to the sculptural figure and portrait. Eventually these representational forms wove themselves into works that evoke a particular sense of place within our environment. These pieces incorporate a variety of materials that would later evolve into commentaries focused on our global, human to planet relationship.

Beginning as a collaboration with fellow SOS Pittsburgh/Society of Sculptors member, Saige Baxter, Duncan undertook a six-year project to construct Firetree, a 24-foot-tall steel sculpture that is rich with details formed in copper and other non-synthetic materials. A child’s sense of whimsy is found within this artwork. There's playfulness and fantasy seen in its design, however through symbolism, Firetree imparts a message to all ages about human life within our finite, planet habitat. We need only stand with naked feet upon the soil that surrounds us to realize that we rest undeniably within an extraordinary planetary ecosystem.
