something that has broken its bonds. Continuing in that vein is Mark Gordon’s “Chain Log,” which reflects the North Carolina artist’s interest in scrap yard treasures and machinery. Rust-colored and pockmarked, the form and surface appear ravaged, as if dredged from an ancient shipwreck. In contrast to the smooth, luxuriousness of porcelain clay, Gordon’s piece exploits the gritty nature of stoneware and earthenware used in numerous pieces in the exhibition, which has been highlighting contemporary ceramics for 11 years. The exterior finishes shown here are also divergent. Brian Molanphy’s “Fountain,” inspired by his trips to Provence, France, are a synthesis of his interest in rounded and squared forms, as well as of color. Using a technique called marbling, where different colored clays are manipulated to create a marbled look, either by mixing the clay together or by using liquid clay called slip. Finally, the shimmer of glass combined with an Asian aesthetic is featured in Joshua Woof’s celadon-inspired vessel. Thrown on the wheel and embellished with an abstracted spiral motif, Woof’s “Qi” represents, according to the artist, a physical manifestation of the “life force that exists in the natural world.” n “2X2 Small-Scale Ceramic Sculpture Biennial” • Jan 24-March 14 • Eastern Washington University • 140 Art Bldg, Cheney • 509-359-7070
