SILVERSTRUCK

David Reposar
_{Dedicated to Silver Lucy (1971 - 2020)}

SILVERSTRUCK
noun
_{The feeling when someone makes you feel completely seen, heard, and understood. Like you are the only person in the room.}

_{9 years ago...
I met Silver Lucy - fashion icon, designer, Pantone color librarian, empath, selfless creative, and highly adorned creature who ignited the fire of inspiration that unleased this body of work I call SILVERSTUCK. The word represents the feeling she created in our collaborative friendship. To be completely seen and heard, she made everyone around her feel incredibly special.}

_{I had no idea where our work would go, but we would always show up and make ART... It was spontaneous and visionary in it's shape and form. We just had to make and produce art in our lives.
Over the six years that felt like a life time of profound creation, Silver continues to inspire beyond the thin veil and I have no doubt she is watching and participating in every way because energy never dies.}

_{"LOVE IS THE ANSWER"
'I am simply a conduit, a steward to keeping Silver's spirit circulating in the creative realm in time and space.' - David Reposar}

CHANNELING

Jennifer Cuaro
_{a conduit of expression -- where 'Channeling' resides.}

_{What I make comes from a state where conscious thoughts are lost, allowing a creative force to flow through.}

_{A known origin of inspiration is unclear, and I enjoy the serendipitous journey where formless ideas take shape through clay and kiln.}

_{Each piece is an ephemeral dance between the unseen and the material, a visual translation of the dialogue between the void and the crafted.}

_{'Channeling' invites you to immerse in the enigma of creation, where the silent whispers of the unknown manifest into the tangible.}
_{- Jennifer Alvarez}
