   Geoff Searle has been a potter and artist since 1972, working primarily in clay. His practice includes sculpture, raku, and pit firing, all produced in his studio located in the rural Fraser Valley of British Columbia.
   Born and raised in Kimberley in the interior of BC, Geoff studied at the Kootenay School of Art in Nelson. He has lived in several communities across the province before eventually settling on the West Coast. Often described as being almost as intriguing as the man himself, his work reflects a nonconformist spirit driven by creativity and natural curiosity. This approach has led to innovative and compelling pieces that place him at the forefront of contemporary clay work.   Image attached: Big Oval Vase with Top by Geoff Searle  – Raku, 9 x 12 x 9.5 inches   View Geoff's ceramics on The Avenue Gallery's website: Geoff Searle, Ceramicist at The Avenue Gallery, Victoria, BC, Canada

   Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
   
   Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
   Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
   In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
   Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
   An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
