In an ongoing performance and installation that focuses on a life philosophy supported by the raw elements of air, water, fire, and earth, the artists will use potter’s wheels to create vessels from 1,000 pounds of locally sourced black and white clay. When a vessel is complete, it is to be smashed by the artist into a pile in the center of the room. The public will be invited to create vessels and contribute to the clay pile by using the same process.
Artists:  Katie Troisi, Olivia Rado
