COMFORT ZONE: Mary Klages Senior Thesis Exhibition
Senior Thesis Exhibition for Bachelor of Fine Arts in Clay
Mary Klages is a ceramic artist from Oak Ridge who has been working in the medium of clay for six years. Mary’s senior thesis show, “Comfort Zone”, will be at the Hilltop Gallery at the Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, TN, April 27-May 10, 2022. This exhibition showcases Mary’s sculptural work, which she has created during her time in the BFA program at Tennessee Tech. This show consists of larger-than-life figures which explore the complexities of consciousness. This body of work combines both realistic and abstract forms while pushing the limit of clay as a medium. Mary finishes the pieces by layering paint to define the forms and push the narrative throughout the show. Mary aims to ignite curiosity in the viewer and invites them to investigate each piece closely.
