John Leyland
July 19 - August 16, 2002

John V. Leyland is a graduate of Miami University M.F.A.2001. John’s forms are rooted in a study of geometry and Neolithic artifacts. The ceramic sculptures are hand-built forms that resemble vessels yet lack any functionality.

”Although the concepts of vessel and containment are still present, in some form, my impulse to elaborate and articulate parts has been transformed to an impulse of simplification.”

Their surface is quite special, each different, making specific choices of color and texture.
