MARGARETVILLE — Steve Clorfeine and Nat Thomas are seasoned artists whose work spans numerous mediums and explorations. This exhibit, curated by ArtUp Co-Director Patrice Lorenz, focuses on Clorfeine’s clay and Thomas’s collage. The exhibit will be in place Sept. 26 to Oct. 19 and had an opening reception last Friday at Art Up, 746 Main Street, Margaretville.

Small hand-built pots, vases, containers, and platters, all ask to be held to experience the warmth infused by Clorfeine’s eye and touch. Thomas’s collages stem from the joy he finds working in his garden. Borrowing from ephemeral materials, he “grows” his blooms in paper, cut and pasted in distinctive arrangements. In this exhibit you can feel the hands of these artists working in and with the earth. For more info, search artupmargaretville.com, artupmargaretville@gmail.com, or @artupmargaretville.
