Remnants and Relics work by Jason Stein, February 10 through April 17, 2023.
Tennessee Tech University, Appalachian Center for Craft, Lakeview Gallery
Jason Stein is inspired by the textures and forms of the geological structures and surfaces that occur, drawn to the subtleties found in such hard and unforgiving materials and landscapes. Stein highlights the juxtapositions and states of conflict and interplays between disparate elements. This chaotic and intense process of alchemy and creation gives birth to new forms. The result is finished works that speak to the visual and conceptual framework of control, hidden systems, and structures, manipulation, and transformation.
Jason Stein received a BFA in Metals and Jewelry Design from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008 and received MFA in Metal Design from East Carolina University in 2010. He taught at Central Piedmont Community College from 2017-2021. He completed artist residencies at Penland in 2020, Peters Valley in 2021, and Pocosin in 2022.

The Joan Derryberry Art Gallery will be hosting a gallery talk and reception for metalsmith Jennifer Crupi on Feb. 9, at 4:30 p.m. in the Roaden University Center 124. Her sculptural jewelry series delicately captures the intimate relationship between communication and body language. “These handcrafted, interactive objects point out various gestures or postures and their associated meanings, in the hope viewers will realize the importance of how our bodies speak for us.” This event is funded by Center Stage.
