The University of Utah Department of Art & Art History proudly presents The Annual Student Art Exhibition. I am proud to have two of my works on display:

• “Big Fish” ceramic
• “Sugarhouse Patriot” watercolor

This is an exhibition juried by Greg Allen, NY Art Critic, that features the strongest artworks created by students from all areas of the BFA program. There will be lots of food, live music and the announcement of scholarship awardees and exhibition awards. Attendance by all is welcomed.

The pots were first bisque fired in an electric kiln. They were oxidation fired to cone 010 which is approximately 1650 degrees fahrenheit. I wrapped banana peels, clementine and grapefruit peels around the pots and placed them in sawdust in the bottom of the pit. I sprinkled copper carbonate and salt around each pot. The pit was then loaded with wood and set on fire. When the pots became visible another load of wood was added on top and the pit was closed with sheets of metal.

Here is a picture taken at the pit fire.
