Built Different is an art exhibition featuring recent work from UA Little Rock students in Advanced Ceramics II and seniors in the Ceramics BFA program. I’ll be exhibiting 6 pieces from this semester:

  • Blue Jellyfish: A carved double-walled vase glazed in cobalt blue.
  • But Not for Me: A hand-built treehouse nestled inside an abstracted tree made from thrown and altered forms.
  • Crystal Ball Display: A thrown and altered candelabra with an amethyst.
  • Familiar Coast: A bottle vase glazed in blues and earth tones.
  • Summer’s Slipping: A teardrop-shaped vase glazed in blue, green, and orange.
  • We’ll Burn That Bridge When We Get To It: A double-handled vessel glazed in glossy greens and crackling browns.
