8 a.m.-8 p.m. Mon.-Sat. Oct. 19-Jan. 10. This exhibit investigates fire and wildfires through the lenses of art and ecology, highlighting human contributions to recurring natural processes that are at once destructive and transformative. Artwork on display includes ceramics such as hand-thrown fire cones placed in a controlled burn with the aid of Ventura County Firefighters. Artists Amiko Matsuo and Brad Monsma work with locally sourced clay and chaparral and use contemporary and ancient techniques, including a Japanese coil-building method, nejitate. The orange fire retardant dropped from helicopters, native seeds, pinecones and ash are among the other materials used in the art in this exhibit, which is said to appropriate for children.
