Patrice Renee Washington

Black ceramic vertical sculpture
Monday, March 2, 6PM
Logan Center for the Arts, Penthouse Room 901

In this artist lecture, Patrice Washington will speak in depth about her recent exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, an exhibition which brings together work spanning 10 years. All of these works share a common concern in understanding how certain perceived identities, histories and meanings converge in complex cultural symbols that manifest her sculptural ceramic works.
 
Presented by the Open Practice Committee in the Department of Visual Arts
