The Theme this month is Pluralism. It seems to me that our First Unitarian Universalist principle, “TheInherent Worth and Dignity of Every Person,” speaks directly to pluralism. As members of a congregation in the Unitarian Universalist Association we are called to “affirm and promote” this principle. What does that mean? How difficult can that be?
This will be a service centering on Memorial Day, or as we used call it, Decoration Day. Since we will be remembering loved ones who have passed away, you are invited to bring a picture or an item that calls them to mind for you to put on our Table of Remembrance.
Martha Roditti, a well-known Las Cruces clay artist, will be featured at the Tombaugh Gallery in May. She has created hundreds of charming, whimsical and decorative pieces including a variety of dragons, crows, falcons, pigs with wings, endangered Hawaiian birds, Hawaiian bats and snails, an anatomically correct T Rex (sort of), pandas, roadrunners, and goddesses. Her sculptures have been inspired by a variety of people and animals. Their eyes are always expressive, and their faces have long beaks, snouts or prominent noses.
Her pieces are influenced by current political events, requests, the formation of the clay just speaking to her or an animated conversation in the studio. The size of the critters varies from four foot dragons designed to be outdoor pieces to small singing birds embellishing a piece of wood found in the desert.
Martha began her work 50 years ago in San Francisco, first taking classes at the De Young Museum and then at Sharon Arts in Golden Gate Park. Since 2005 she has taken classes at the Las Cruces Museum of Art, sculpting with Brian Fallstead and Dona Ana Community College.
Visit Martha and meet her clay friends at the First Friday Opening from 5:30 to 7:30 on Friday, May 3rd. Complimentary wine and light refreshments will be served. She will also be available to answer your questions on Sunday after church, May 5th. The show continues through May 26th.
Gallery Hours
The Gallery, located in the Unitarian Universalist Church at 2000 S. Solano Drive, is regularly open Friday through Saturday, from 10 AM to 2:00 PM and Sunday, 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
