Honorable Mention

Doug Jeck

As ‘human objects’, the things I make are wordless metaphors for the intrigues of the mind and heart… and ultimately, nameless parts of the larger existential repertoire.”

Clay has ever been ingrained in my efforts; I reach for it in much the same way a composer does the keyboard. With clay: I’m lyrical, I make things and cover myself. Clay lets me embellish, erase, revive, revisit, inflate, and flatten time.
