The Development of Low-Fire Wood Firing Techniques, and the Making of Monsters is a post-sabbatical exhibition by Salisbury-based artist and faculty David Smith. His focus began on developing glazes and firing schedules for low-fire wood firings nearing 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a relatively un-explored process in the world of contemporary ceramics and pottery.
This exhibition explores the evolving concept of identity in contemporary art practice, moving beyond fixed categories and traditional boundaries. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and mixed media, artists engage with shifting personal, cultural, and social definitions – addressing hybridity, multiplicity, and fluidity in self-representation. “Surveying Post Identity” invites viewers to reconsider what shapes us and how we express belonging, difference, and transformation in an interconnected world. Curated by Professor Jinchul Kim, the exhibition features 21 artists from the Washington, D.C., and New York regions.
