1pm - 2pm FAC 112
Holly Hanessian is an Associate Professor of Art at Florida State University. Her work includes ceramic and mixed media installations, sculptural objects and artist books. She serves as exhibitions director of the National Council on Education of the Ceramics Arts. During Holly's slide talk, she will be discussing her professional experience as an artist, as well as her work.
Holly states, "My work offers a human response to how we progress through life with notions of luck and fate in our collective consciousness. By combining words with delicate porcelain chain link and ceramic objects, a story is woven reflecting what we both lose and gain at different times in our life. I continue to question how, why and where we end up in life; is it good fortune, destiny or the result of choice?”
