Description
Includes: Immersion #11 by Noah Webb. Year: 2007. Edition: 1/7 Medium: Lightjet C-print. Dimensions: 20 x 30 inches.
Born atop Foster Mountain and educated in a one-room schoolhouse in Willits, California, Jonah Ward draws his inspiration from the rustic beauty and red dirt roads surrounding his childhood home. His well-traveled, bohemian family cultivated his talent by exposing him to art, a multitude of museums and cultural events.
He attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland to pursue drawing and painting, but quickly developed a passion for the seductive, foreign quality of glass. Since graduating, he has been refining his signature style: an alchemy of organic, raw materials and the media of glass, paint, ink, sculpture and digital tools.
Jonah now spends time in his hand-built studio on Foster Mountain where lately, he has been creating art out of the indigene: madrone bark, manzanita branches and even the red dirt that covers the mountain. He splits his time between here, glass shops in Oakland and his South of Market studio/gallery space in San Francisco.
Artist Statement:
When asked about the artwork he creates, Jonah explained how the overall process has been more important in his most recent work. "By focusing more on how my work is created, something more personal and unique emerges. During the creation of my art I’ve been using unpredictable natural balances, which I then try to harness and control, to some extent, its randomness."
Jonah has been experimenting a lot lately with gravity as a pivotal force in his creative process. The way material falls and collects on different surfaces, and how to influence its decent is very important to the artist. He believes that simple gestures like how paint can be dripped onto, and then dispersed, from a fan is a basic, yet elegant device for organizing chaos.
This is also true when he drips melting glass onto wood. To one's amazement, once the glass cools down, hardens and is removed from the wood, an intricate, seamless pattern is revealed.
Throughout all of his art, one common component connects all of the work, line. This is especially true in his new series, Burning Water, where line is one of the key components. Paper, water and fire are mixed to create these stunning art pieces.
Another essential part of his work is his use of negative space. How it is defined and created, goes hand in hand with linear and curvilinear elements. He believes with these different processes that there are an infinite amount of ways to use them to create different types of artwork. It's quick and relatively easy to do. This is the mission of his future artwork.
Photos on the left are from his first SoMa artist open studios event that took place in May of 2009. He will also be participating in the ArtSpan open studios in San Francisco in October of 2009.
Jonah is near completion of his art studio on the top of Foster Mountain at his home in Willits, California. There he will create his work and also share the space with fellow artists who wish to use it as a retreat to do their work as well.

Before You Bid
Your bid is a contract
All bids placed on the charitybuzz® Auctions website are legally binding. If you are the successful bidder, you will enter into a legal contract to purchase the item and will be considered the buyer of the lot.
How to Bid
Steps to take before you place a bid:
- If you haven't already, register for an account.
- Browse the website for items of interest.
- Once you have clicked into the lot description page, the "Place a Bid" box will appear on your right.
- You must be logged into charitybuzz.com in order to bid. You will see the Current Bid and the Minimum Next Bid. To bid this amount, simply click the "Bid Now" button. A "Confirm Your Bid" box will appear confirming the Bid Price. If okay, hit Confirm. From here you can Return to Auction, check Your Active Lots, or Log-Out.
- Due to the charitable nature of this auction, charitybuzz® has waived all buyer's premiums, commissions and fees.
- If you have been Outbid, you have the opportunity to continue bidding. You will also be notified by email.
- Overtime or "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.
Bids are a binding contract. If you have any questions on any terms and conditions, we encourage you to email info@charitybuzz.com or call (212) 243-3900 and speak with one of our auction specialists before you place a bid.
Overtime Bid
Why did the auction closing time extend by 10 minutes after I placed my bid? This is called "Popcorn" Bidding: Bids placed within 10 minutes prior to a lot's scheduled closing time will extend the closing time on that lot an additional 10 minutes. This gives all bidders an opportunity to place a competing bid. All lots will close when there have been no bids placed within the last remaining 10 minutes.
Max Bid
Max bidding allows you to bid the maximum amount you wish to bid for an auction lot. Your maximum bid won't be displayed to other bidders, but will be displayed as the current bid based on the bidding increment. The following example illustrates max bidding:
- Auction Lot 1000 has a current bid of $0. The minimum bid is $250.
- Juan places and confirms a maximum bid of $500. Juan's bid is displayed as $250.
- Sally places a bid of $300 and is notified that the bid was not accepted because it did not exceed the maximum bid.
- Juan's next bid is automatically increased to the next bidding increment of $350.
- If no other bids are placed, Juan is the winner at $350.
- If Juan's $500 max bid is overtaken by another bidder, he will receive an outbid notice.
For further clarification please email info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.
liveBID
What does liveBID mean in the auction title and description?
In addition to an online auction, charities frequently conduct live galas and feature a live auction at the event. For the auction lots that are included in the online auction and the live auction, we note them with "liveBID" in the lot description, and we close the online bidding the day of the live auction. We contact the highest bidders on those liveBID lots by phone to see if the bidders want us to continue bidding on their behalf at the live auction.
In addition, a live gala may also include a silent auction. In these cases, charitybuzz bidders can bid online for silent auction items along with the guests at the event. These items remain open online until they close at the event. Winning bidders will be notified via email when credit card charges are processed. Please note that silent auction items do not support the Max Bid feature. The amount you bid will be registered as the next bid regardless of increment, so please bid carefully.
Please email info@charitybuzz.com with any questions.
ReserveBID
ReserveBID is a way for donors/charities to ensure that items do not sell below their value. Some items will start at a lower opening bid price to encourage bidding; however items that display "ReserveBID not met" below the current bid are not obligated to be sold to the highest bidder. Bidding must surpass the set reserve price in order to sell; therefore once "ReserveBID not met" disappears, the item is valid for sale at the current bid posted. Reserve prices are confidential and will not be revealed to bidders.
