Relationships in Clay and Wood
Brandon Reese blends stoneware, porcelain, and reclaimed native wood to create pieces that challenge the traditional boundaries of ceramic art. With a foundation built at the Kansas City Art Institute and honed at Bowling Green State University, Reese's artistic journey is marked by influential apprenticeships and collaborations with luminaries such as Jim Leedy, Jun Kaneko, Don Reitz, and Peter Voulkos.
Reese's sculptures are instantly recognizable for their simple, familiar forms executed on a grand scale. His work is a testament to the power of relationships, both in subject matter and material composition. By combining salt-glazed stoneware with reclaimed wood, Reese creates a dialogue between materials, emphasizing their unique characteristics while unifying them into a cohesive whole. This interplay results in pieces that are not only visually striking but also emotionally resonant.
