Opening tomorrow at Ogden Museum of Southern Art is the exhibition, “Outside In, Improvisations of Space: The Ceramic Work of MaPó Kinnord!”⁣
⁣
"Outside In, Improvisations of Space" brings together 11 works from throughout Kinnord’s career to illustrate her practice in clay. Allowing herself to be led by the material, she finds her greatest joy in the physical act of creation.⁣
⁣
“I work with clay because I love the physical interaction with the material, my current work embodies the technical challenges and creative dynamic of improvisation.” – MaPó Kinnord⁣
⁣
To celebrate the opening of this exhibition, Ogden Museum members get 20% off in the @OgdenMuseumStore through Sunday. Some exclusions may apply. Reserve your timed tickets at ogdenmuseum.org. ⁣

@earl_the_artist's love for sculpture first began

@earl_the_artist's love for sculpture first began while assembling found objects as a child growing up in rural Mississippi. Today, his work is often inspired by the day-to-day, whether it be his goals for the future, childhood memories, failures to be overcome, or the family that surrounds him. See his work, "Dingbat," stationed along the #PoydrasCorridor between Camp and Magazine Street!⁣⁣

Opening Saturday, March 6 at Ogden Museum is the exhibition, “Outside In, Improvisations of Space: The Ceramic Work of MaPó Kinnord.” ⁣
⁣
Through technical mastery and irreverent experimentation, Kinnord’s work in clay expands the traditional boundaries of the medium. Her studio practice pushes the potential of clay, as well as her own imagination, testing the limits of clay’s malleability and strength with her large-scale sculptures. By incorporating assemblage, collage, light, drawing and painting into her practice, she challenges the very definition of ceramic art. ⁣
⁣
Stop by the O this weekend to see “Outside In, Improvisations of Space!” Plus to celebrate the opening of this exhibition, Ogden Museum members get 20% off in the @OgdenMuseumStore through Sunday. Some exclusions may apply. Come #SeetheSouth and #ShoptheSouth!⁣
