Their simplicity makes the aberrations, which occur in the firing process, a source of intrigue for the viewer. The later pieces exhibit a bit more color and are not the large utility pieces that were once the norm. This is due to increasing demand for more artwork as well as the Temperence Movement, Prohibition, and the Great Depression.

Territory and Identity – Between Ceramics and Architecture focuses on the interconnectedness between the two seemingly unrelated disciplines. While examining this connection, the exhibit addresses the relevance of regionalism in its broader context and interpretations, particularly in relation to an era of globalization and hi-tech telecommunications. The biennale exhibition is primarily a presentation of material, wherein artistic ideas and critical statements are expressed.
