Pan Am Public Art: Art Across Borders Artist
Marilyn Dolle
Project:
One, a stoneware relief sculpture, 4 ft. 10 in.
x 6 ft. 10 in., mounted in a cedar panel
Site 7: Ellicott and Best Street (Grounds of Pilgrim Village)
One
represents the strength, spirit and potential of women in the Americas.
Strong, organic, graceful and curvilinear forms, with egg-like interiors
represent the potential within each woman and fullness of spirit. Ms.
Dolle constructed her stoneware relief sculpture using slab-building techniques.
The clay was fired to the temperature known as cone 6 in an oxidation
atmosphere, producing a metallic finish and fusing it to make it waterproof
to withstand weathering.
Marilyn
Dolle has exhibited her ceramic sculpture in group exhibitions in Ontario
art galleries in Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, and Barrie. Her work is influenced
by early 20th-century psychoanalyst Carl Jung and his concept of sacred
geometry.
