The art event that I went to see, which displayed pieces of my work in, was Tom Kerrigans ceramics. Along with my pieces, the show included Tom Kerrigan’s and Lauren Morris’s pieces of work. The show had work from my J-team class, specifically clay installation taught by Stephanie Rozene, some of her work was in the show as well. While in professor Rozene’s class, we were also given the option to work with Tom to make clay instruments, which I did, being the reason why they were in the show. The show was an open-ended performance led by Jason Curley and the percussion ensemble. The show was a tremendous success. The ensemble did a splendid job with the way they made the ceramic instruments sound; they found various ways to make music with clay. I was amazed. In the middle of the show, Jason Curley called me and Lauren on to the stage to stand behind our work. I have never been on a stage before so I did not realize that the performers could not see the audience. After the show was over, Jason Curley invited everyone down to the stage to look at the ceramic instruments and to play them. Personally, it was amazing to watch everyone come up and try to make music with all of the works of art. Overall, the experience was great as it opened my eyes to a new way of making art. Pieces of work are not just for looking at, they can also be interactive, and to me, that’s the most influential part; making work, now that I am knowledgeable with the viewer.
