The exhibition is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and features artwork that was created by Anthony Millette, Lauren Crouch, Rachel Olney and Ethan Watkins during their time at the university.

Millette, from Sioux Falls, is a studio art major with a specialization in sculpture. His work includes a primal exploration into the physical and spiritual aspects of clay, its deep roots in human civilization and its link to the natural world. In his work, he used an atmospheric kiln to then enrich the surface and allow the passage of heat and fire to leave its indelible mark.

Crouch, from Sioux Falls, is a studio art major with a specialization in ceramics and a double major in Spanish as well as minors in art history and business administration. Her work includes functional and non-functional ceramic pieces. Many pots feature alteration through various techniques, including sgraffito and split rim, with an emphasis on curating a satisfying feel and function.

Olney, from Solon, Iowa, is a studio art major with a specialization in ceramics. Olney’s non-utilitarian and utilitarian work speaks for her passions on communication and emotions. Her goal as a potter is to create work for herself.

Watkins, from North Sioux City, is a studio art major with an emphasis in sculpture and a minor in art history. His work includes aspects of ancient mythos and his own personal mythos created within his subculture of friend, represented through various cast metals and materials.
