Premiering in Baker Center's Trisolini Gallery, Marc Cole's "Elaboratous" explores how our personalities enhance situations in ways we might not expect. Marc explains on his website, "When I work in the studio I am developing the expression of my own aesthetic intentions in a similar way that I might express my personality while interacting with other people." This concept is displayed through several ceramic pieces within the collection that range from single cups to larger serving platters. At face value the creations represent little more than a uniquely crafted vessel. However after reading the artist's statement behind the motivation for his collection, I was much more interested in discovering the process behind each individual piece. Stop by the gallery before the 22nd to catch the exhibit or come chat with the artist during the exhibit's reception on Friday, the 21st from 6-9 pm.
