Article Excerpt:
Ceramic artists Derek Harding and Jason Green share a friendship,
a medium and a common vocation; they are both Massachusetts
high school art instructors. This exhibition, curated by RIC
Associate Professor of Art Bryan Steinberg, positions these two
artists, working in such parallel realms, at the fork of a seemingly
common path diverging in the results of their labor.
Both artists employ creative moldmaking techniques derived from historical industrial practices. Harding’s modular “Saddle” was created while in residency at Kohler Co., the nation’s leading manufacturer of plumbingware. Green discovered an affinity for brickmaking while in residence at Maine’s Watershed Ceramics Center, the site of a former brick factory.
