Symbolic Vessels

The campus community is invited to the gallery reception and gallery talk by Seth Green, Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Purdue University Fort Wayne, Friday, March 2, 6:00-7:30pm in the Robert E. Wilson Gallery. In describing his work Seth states that “symbolic details used in the creation of religious and royal architecture primarily influence my wheel-thrown and assembled ceramic vessels. Specific forms of inspiration are the cathedrals, palaces and mosques of the Islamic world and the Czech Republic, that are topped with domes, spires and finials that pierce the sky and reach heavenward. Spires and finials are prominently featured in most of my works, communicating spiritual and significant symbolism. Striking silhouettes, symmetry and line also captivate my focus. “
