Slipware by Zak Helenske now through Nov 3 at SCC Art Gallery

Zak Helenske is a potter who is interested in the development of form and the exploration of pattern, referencing architectural situations and social observations. He uses geometry as a language to communicate ideas of space, proximity, occupation, and structure. By layering patterns on top of each other, Helenske draws maps that help define or bend an orientation.

Fine plates

Pots are some of the objects that connect us across cultures and across time. Helenske is interested in the anti-monumental, and challenged by the spatial balance between pottery, architecture and community.
