Taken by the transgressive nature of Steven Young Lee’s porcelain “Vase with Landscape and Dinosaurs," ceramic artist Wayne Highby appreciates that it challenges and questions the traditional vessel, porcelain history, and also traditional ceramic art.
You know those moments when you first see something you've never quite seen before? The feelings of excitement, curiosity and, quite honestly, bewilderment take over. Well, if you haven't seen the ceramic work of Wayne Higby before, get ready, this is the sort of work that expands horizons and makes you question what's possible in the world of ceramics. Aired 3/20/15.
