DIGITAL COMMONS PUBLISHING CORNER Channels Journal Published Library Showcases Student Art Work Come to the library to engage with three displays of ceramic works crafted by Advanced Ceramics students Nina Friess, Olivia Fish, and Kaitlyn Davis under the guidance of Professor Mailloux. These installations are an example of social practice art, a contemporary art form focused on generating meaningful interactions between art and a community of people. From a custom tea set that offers ideas of hope and community, to a collection of handcrafted mugs designed to foster vulnerable conversations about the lies we believe and God's truth we can proclaim to one another, to a chess set that invites the viewer to not only play but to consider how we perceive intelligence, all three works encourage viewers to ponder on these themes and interact with the pieces in a meaningful way.
