Jim Cogswell: Meanwhile
Colorful and exciting, Cogswell's work originates in the figure; by the time the piece is completed the figure has merged into an abstract design.

Transitions/Translations: Innovations in Clay
September 8 - November 5, 2004


Cultural forces throughout the 20th Century have created a tension between traditional, functional values and an urge for content-based artistic expression that has produced an explosion of innovative works that continually push the boundaries of materials and ideas. Throughout the academic year, Gallery One will be exploring issues surrounding the movement that has transformed traditional American Crafts from functional into content-based creations. Through exhibitions, lectures and demonstrations, the gallery will examine some of the questions raised by this major sift in emphasis. The five artists chosen by our curators, John and Susanne Stephenson for Innovations in Clay, the first exhibition in this series, display a wide range of work from functional vessels to installations. All the works, functional or not, utilize the manipulation of clay to create expressive form.
