About the Juror, Patrick S. Crabb - Artist Statement:
My clay vessel forms over the past 25 years have always been deeply rooted in ancient artifacts and their historical cultural backgrounds, such as prehistory Japanese Jomon wares, primitive African sculptures, Southwest Native American containers and pre-Columbian ceremonial figurines. This growing interest has evolved slowly from vessel making to architectural construction to the current life-size figures, most of which involves the deconstruction-to-reconstruction approach.
