'783-804' creates an environment that reverses the roles of viewer and object, putting the viewer in the spotlight. The wood fired stoneware jars in '783-804' function as a series, as opposed to individual vessels. The installation allows the viewer to examine the industrial nature of craftsmanship. However, instead of industry as a means of production for the populace, '783-804' presents the efficiency of industry to the singular viewer in the context of fine art.

'783 - 804' on exhibit October 1 - 29, 2015 at Benchspace Gallery, Center for Craft, Creativity + Design in conjunction with 'Made in WNC'.
