Sunday Selects is a weekly review of the art, artists and culture curated by gallery director and founder Kim Fonder. By providing a connection to newly discovered art and objects as well as sharing enjoyed rituals, Exhibit hopes to expand enjoyment of the creative approach in your everyday life.

"My current works are constructed of salt glazed stoneware and reclaimed native wood. I combine the clay and wood to bring emphasis to both materials and to make the viewer more aware of the characteristics of each. My work is motivated by life."

Using wax pencil, acrylic, and oil paint on various supports, I layer pigment with brushes, palette knives, and printing techniques. I get lost in the way color, line, and texture move about on the surface as the work changes in each moment. Applying paint to cover earlier passages is a part of my exploration of the life cycle — moving forward can require letting go. This cloak and reveal with art media and the element of time is intentional. The prospect of what will remain visible in the final painting is a mystery and an element of what shepherds my creative process.

Minimalism
Characterized by simplicity, precision, and a reduction of artistic elements to their essential forms, minimal art seeks to convey profound meaning through minimalist means. Rejecting excessive ornamentation and complexity, minimalist artists often use basic geometric shapes, clean lines, and a limited color palette to create compositions that emphasize purity and clarity. Artists such as Donald Judd, Agnes Martin, and Frank Stella played pivotal roles in shaping the minimal art movement.
