MATT WEDEL PHENOMENAL DEBRIS

This exhibition marks the first solo museum show for ceramicist Matt Wedel. Known for his large scale ceramics that push the boundaries of the physically possible, this show for the first time brings together multiple scales and media of his work, creating an all encompassing experience of Matt’s prolific work. The design draws on the landscape around Matt’s studio in Albany, OH, and the space of the studio itself. There is an interaction between the man-made and the natural that runs through the show. Pathways between the works lead the visitor through the field and garden and into the central volume evoking the studio before exiting to the field again for reflection and contemplation. The visual language references the landscape, enclosure, color, and repetition of elements within the farm and the work itself.
