Former Artist in Residence, Andrea Marquis presents Matter in a Floating World: “My large seemingly heavy clay objects respond to and appear to defy gravity, at times due to intervention and manipulation, or due to the material properties of soft clay, and temperature and time with clay’s ceramic transformation in the kiln.
In the titular book, Matter in the Floating World, architect Blaine Brownell converses with Japanese visionaries about material buoyancy, substance, presence, and absence, and about the ever expanding boundaries of engineering form - expressing spirituality with lightness, and discovering the possibilities of material.“
