Armstrong’s announces the solo show of
Jeff Whyman “Vitrified Existence”
From their website:
“Jeff Whyman’s work displays a variety of sculptural forms completed with wood-fired, glazing surface techniques. His work is about the beauty, wonder and majesty of our daily life. The clay, the earth, the sun, the minerals, the colors of our transitions and the eternal process of our existence is all a part of his galactic expressions in the permanency of fired ceramic vessels. Whyman is also a diver and his ceramic creations are reminiscent of the treasures found on the ocean floor.”
October 7 – November 29, 2008
