"Anchored Roots: Clay and Wood by Holden Roberts"
Tree roots that have a high concentration of clay in their soil are stronger and grip the earth with more stability. Humans are all figuring out their best gripping method to this earth in the most effective way. We must rely on an assortment of materials and turn to others for success. Humans are social creatures who search for dynamic and diverse networks of others, but to do so we need a strong rooted anchor within ourselves.
The show utilizes ceramics, woodworking, pottery, and acrylics. Sgraffito carved wall tiles, mixed media including wood-fired ceramic components.
