Threw & Thru
Join us for a solo exhibition of work by Matthew Eames
June 2nd- 30th with opening reception on June 2nd from 6-8pm
Throughout the month of June, the Carbondale Clay Center is going to look a lot different than usual.
That’s because ceramic artist and Clay Center studio manager Matthew Eames is creating an installation for his solo exhibit, “Threw and Thru.” The piece will overtake the Clay Center gallery and turn it into an interactive space built with thrown ceramic “bricks,” wood, thread and other materials.
“I enjoy creating and building tenuous structural installations,” Eames said. “This newest installation is going to be an extension of my previous series of work but focused more on the interaction of thread and ceramics.
Matthew Eames is a ceramic artist born on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He received his B.F.A. in ceramics in 2007 from the University of Hartford and his M.F.A. in 2013 from Wichita State University. Beyond the academic setting, he has held residencies in Arkansas, Colorado and Massachusetts. Through these travels, he has had group and solo exhibitions in galleries around the country. He is currently the studio manager at Carbondale Clay Center.
