Continuous Clay: Trends and Innovations, features nine inventive Bay Area artists working in ceramics today. Following in the footsteps of such pioneering Bay Area artists as Robert Arneson, Viola Frey, and Peter Voulkos, who championed the materiality of clay and elevated the medium beyond the realm of craft, the nine artists presented here build on this legacy by taking unconventional approaches to traditional techniques. For example, Michelle Gregor, a San Francisco-based contemporary figurative artist--one of the most highly regarded second-generation sculptors of the Bay Area Figurative Movement working today--employs a painterly approach to glaze application. Her work displays her masterful, intuitive sense of color. Also on view is work by Marin-based artist Brett Crawford. Crawford, a skilled potter, juxtaposes traditional vessel forms with experimental surface treatments as seen in Sperry Fingerprint. Curated by Jeff Downing, the exhibition includes Brett Crawford, Shenny Cruces, Michelle Gregor, Jeannie Ichimura, Pancho Jiménez, Mark Messenger, Maria Paz, Tiffany Schmierer and Tiffany Tang. Taken as a whole, these artists are creating something entirely new and exciting! 

Though all the work varies greatly in style, technique, and conceptual approach, the artists share one thing in common: an immense passion for this magnificent medium's deeply primordial and unforgiving nature. Visitors of all ages will experience an imaginative, engaging display of the limitless possibilities of clay.  

Continuous Clay: Trends & Innovations is curated by Jeff Downing, Professor of Art and Head of the Ceramics Area at San Francisco State University. Jeff Downing discovered the art of ceramics while majoring in music composition at the State University of New York at Purchase. Drawn to the spirit of experimentation and nonconformity that characterizes art and artist in California, Downing moved to San Francisco in 1985 where he rapidly became exposed to a broad spectrum of ceramic sculpture being produced and exhibited in the region. Downing studied with several well-known artists in the San Francisco Bay Area and went on to earn his MFA from San Francisco State University in 1992. Since 1996, he has been teaching ceramics workshops and classes at various institutions throughout the country. Jeff Downing exhibits his sculpture internationally and in the United States and he has received numerous awards for his work. Find the curatorial statement here.
