Gallery Art Works of Pamela Rodger:
Selected Sculptural Pieces + Paintings over 45 year career, as a student, teacher, potter, painter, sculptor, performance artist, mosaic builder, gallery owner + curator
Acrylic Painting 2020
The Mosaic and Acrylic Paintings are about telling a story. I have to get out of the way of my thinking brain, for those pieces to be generated. Once i am finished a body of work, i have to live with it until i understand where and why they came into existence. These pieces sit on the edge of looking inside the living organism. They are flowing and blocked stations in our bodies and in nature.

As a University taught artist, my first 3 decades were focused on Gallery exhibitions + recognition.
Teaching at a college gave the the motivation to always want to excite my students with their next growth cycle. Travelling to different communities in B.C. as an Out Reach Instructor for the Emily Carr College of Art + Design was a social + stimulating encounter.
I was gratefully in my younger years, to be a recipient of several grants and awards that allowed me to attend the Banff Centre of the Arts where the multi - disciple artists, from all over the world provided a rich ground for inspiration and artistic growth.
Why + What ? The 2 word that lead me to mythology, sociology + symbolism.
I spent years + a couple of my extended Banff School of the Art's residencies focusing + researching on the historic, cultural + religious death rites.
My sculptures reflected the themes: "Tomb Protectors," "Boats for the Soul to Cross the River" and "Ritual Vessels to entice the gods + quiet the spirits."

Death can only exist with its twin, LIFE.
The "Cave Dwellers" sculpture are the ripe promise of seeds of new life, awaiting in the belly of Mother Earth.
The white angels ( Inuksut ) figures give Protection+ Direction for the fruition of the seeds.
