Life Interrupted is the culmination of rediscovery. These works of art speak to grief, resilience, protest, absurdity, and joy. This show is not just about ceramics. It’s about finding your way back to yourself—through grief, through love, through clay. Bari Precious’s artistic journey has been shaped as much by clay as by the interruptions that life handed her. After years of traveling, raising a family, and completing her degree later in life, Bari built a thriving pottery business in Missouri—doing over 20 shows a year and supplying galleries across the country. With her return to Canada in 2017, Bari was heavily involved with the protests against logging at Fairy Creek and was dealt profound losses within her family— all of which forced her to step away from clay. These heartbreaks reshaped her spirit, challenging her to rediscover meaning in her work. “This is about rediscovering my sense of humour, and how you can expect one thing out of life and you get something very different”.
