Stuart Asprey: Ornamental Outré

In his artist statement, Stuart Asprey writes, “Ornamentation and narrative are the artistic allies that assist in the creation of my ceramic vessels. These objects are graphic clay canvases that question our past actions, events and people. They can be irreverently witty, gut-wrenchingly serious, or filled with parody. They use history for arsenal: our folklore, politics, science, human geography, and most importantly, our popular culture.”
