Her compelling and emotional artworks look to speak to the primitive side of the human existence and how that relates to modern day life. Sauerteig-Pilaar focuses on the female form as her muse\, mostly conjured from self-portraits\, where she utilizes her body to manipulate feelings of a quiet rage within women in the more domestic interiors of lives not usually viewed as remarkable or unique. She works to search out the uniting thread of feminism in the dark spaces of suburban life\, and looks to thrust the spotlight on the unsaid struggles and betrayals of women in our current society. \nSauerteig-Pilaar received her BFA from Parson’s School of Design in 1993\, and after living in New York City\, relocated to New Jersey where she has continuously experimented with mediums that led to the eclectic mixed media paper constructions she is most notably recognized for. Her work has been showcased and celebrated in galleries and museums across the country. She was awarded the Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation residency in Jersey City\, NJ in 2022. \nClick Here to Read Christine Sauerteig-Pilaar’s Artist Statement URL:https://ccabedminster.org/event/christine-sauerteig-pilaar-to-bare-witness/ LOCATION:The Center for Contemporary Art\, 2020 Burnt Mills Road\, Bedminster\, NJ\, 07921\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ccabedminster.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/P-Tina-1-by-Christine-Sauerteig-Pilaar.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240505T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240505T160000 DTSTAMP:20240501T162924Z CREATED:20240408T130620Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240501T162924Z UID:10000085-1714914000-1714924800@ccabedminster.org SUMMARY:Hooray for May - Free Family Arts Day DESCRIPTION:If it’s sunny\, come on out!

Carve a one of a kind design into a bowl shape of your choosing. \nSgraffito means to “scratch” in Italian and workshop participants will draw and carve a design onto a vase shape of their choosing.

After a short demonstration of Jennifer’s sgraffito process\, participants will be provided with a tile for practice and a vase form to complete their project (made prior to the workshop by Jennifer). Participants will use underglazes and slips on their greenware ceramic piece during the session as they explore the sgraffito practice themselves. \nParticipants can choose designs provided by Jennifer or draw their own! \nNo experience required.
