The Spirit Of Clay: Works From The Permanent Collection
What comes to mind when you hear the word "clay?" We tend to think about the physical aspects: color, texture, pattern, the clay itself, and its function, or purpose. Few people actually pause to think about the artists who create ceramic artworks from clay, and what things inspired and influenced them to create their art. Each artist incorporates their unique personal interests, childhood influences, and cultural heritage into their works, which allows the clay to then appear to have a life and spirit of its own. In a way, these artists are infusing their spirits into their pieces.
"The Spirit of Clay" proves that artist puts much more thought into their ceramic work beyond its functionality. Ceramics can inspire us, tell us a story, and add beauty into our world. It is our hope that through this exhibit, you might begin to see clay differently - with more life, beauty, and spirit.
