Soft as Earth Exhibition

It starts with something as elemental as a lump of clay — rocks, eroded over eons by water, wind, and heat that flow and settle in layers of sediment.

Soft as Earth features the works of ceramic artists Janny Baek, Brian Guerin, and Tom Hubben. As artists, their work represents different approaches to form — a vessel, an object of the imagination, a mountain. They are risk takers, each pushing the boundaries of what the medium of clay can contain both figuratively and structurally, asking of it, and its traditions — how flexible are you, how can you be expanded, what can you become?

Baek, Guerin, and Hubben employ hand building as their primary technique, and their work suggests a direct link between neurons and fingers, translating and sculpting, speaking a language of form, scale, materiality, and wonder. These artists have navigated a precarious path through the demands of the material itself — preparing, stretching, forming, carving, adding and subtracting, then a slow and careful drying process, and several firings during which unexpected things can, and do, occur. Anarchic, chaotic, inspired accidents and wild experimentation tell a story of transformation that has taken a while to arrive here — 29,000 years, in fact, of working with that lump of clay.
