Seasonal Tree Platters series: Winter. Amanda Taylor, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Lewis Hyde\u2019s The Gift<\/em>, a classic work of nonfiction, explores creativity and the tradition of gift giving across cultures and time, raising questions about the meaning of gifts in communities driven by commodity and consumerism. In this season of giving, it is worth asking: Do we recognize an artist\u2019s creation as a gift, and might offering artwork for sale also be a form of gift giving?<\/p>\n

A recent visitor to Mica Gallery was looking for a way to thank a friend for time spent together. She devoted quite a bit of time to contemplation of the person\u2019s home and lifestyle as well as their relationship before selecting something that would reflect what she wanted to express. A grandmother brought her grandson, who had just graduated from Appalachian State University, to the gallery to pick out something to commemorate the achievement. A traveler from Illinois, celebrating her 50th birthday, sought a place in the country that needed support and selected Western North Carolina because of Helene\u2019s storm damage. Her husband bought her a work of art as a way of supporting artists and remembering their visit.<\/p>\n

Mica Gallery\u2019s artists understand the gift of themselves that they present through their work as well as the transactional nature of selling pieces. On Friday, December 12, from 4\u20136 p.m., the gallery holds its annual Holiday Open House. Gallery artists will be present to talk about their works.<\/p>\n

Mica\u2019s artists recently spent time considering memorable gifts they have received and the kinds of gifts they like to give. \u201cWe\u2019re all busy these days, and even more so during the holidays,\u201d says potter Nick Joerling. \u201cWhatever the gift, it\u2019s nice if there\u2019s some sense that the gift giver paused, that the gift carries (even if momentarily) the attention given to the recipient, that \u2018time\u2019 becomes part of the gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

Woodworker Jacque Allen seeks meaningful connections in gift giving. \u201cI usually make a piece for someone that is useful or decorative, depending on who they are,\u201d she says. \u201cFor family, I like to give experiences of travel or ways of creating memories together.\u201d Allen is also generous with gifts in support of causes, like the bench she made for the Penland School of Craft Benefit Auction.<\/p>\n

Amanda Taylor of Oatka Glass Studio thinks of giving in terms of time spent together and handmade gifts. \u201cI have always spent holiday time with family and close friends,\u201d she says. \u201cWe cherish catching up on each other\u2019s lives, sharing memories and traditions, and enjoying homemade treats and meals together in festively decorated homes.\u201d She likes to create gifts by hand, whether crafts or food items. \u201cI believe this makes the gifts more personal and meaningful, as they truly come from the heart,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Teresa Pietsch, a ceramic artist, doesn\u2019t consider herself an organized gift giver. \u201cI give randomly when it feels right,\u201d she says. Her best gift ever was a living and breathing one. \u201cMy dog Waldo was given to me, and he became my best friend,\u201d she says. \u201cHe looks at me with so much love. We bonded in an indescribable way. I will be forever grateful for that gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeweler Lucinda Brogden tailors her gifts for specific people in a small circle of friends and family. \u201cI look at the gift-giving process not as an obligation but as something I can think about creatively,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd it is really special when someone gives you something thoughtful, something that connects you to that person you love and care about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The thought behind giving is important to artist Tom Spleth. \u201cGiving a gift involves a risk,\u201d he says. \u201cIt takes effort. You must know the person, and you hope the person is receptive to the gesture and, through the giving, will more deeply understand the person making the gift.\u201d<\/p>\n
