Off in a brightly-lit corner of the George R. Brown Convention Center, a handful of ceramic artists are getting their hands dirty for site-specific projects that revolve around the idea of "Earth/Energy."
This is the fourth annual incarnation of the Projects Space at the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts' 2013 conference, which contemporary artists use as a platform for experimentation with materials and metaphors.
From a number of submissions, jurors selected five divergent projects: A linear piece by ceramic artist Jess Riva Cooper; A Walk in the Park, an immersive and interactive work by Texas Women's University students Anastasia Gabriel and Elizabeth Head-Fischer; Justin Schortgen's pulsating light display, Lifecycles; Once We Lived Here, Jessica Kreutter's portrait of stagnation; and Colonization, a sprawling construction by artist, David Katz.
Watch the CultureMap video above for more details on each artist's proposal and process, and go check out the project space — and the rest of NCECA's free programming — before the conference closes on Saturday.
