Austin Tremellen, a recent graduate of Saint
Joseph's University who is in the process of continuing his studies
in ceramics. Living so close to the Barnes for 5 years he has come
under its spell and recognizes its importance in its entirety in Merion.
He says of his work: I work through an interrogative representation
of life, which
manifests as narrations of specific relations within adaptation and
suppressed existence. Stress, trauma, and extraordinary suffering are
only a few obstacles on display. My sculptural organisms remind me
of
the continuous complexity that life brings and the intense commitment
that every day demands. The lack of oxygen inherent in a reductive
firing process creates a cacophony of earthy color and a textural
palette ideal for my work. Clay, metal and glaze are all fused within
my work, strengthening the obsessive permanence I'm striving for.
