guest post: “show us your influences” with Dylan Dowler

Hi there, my name is Dylan Dowler I am a third year university student at the U of R studying Visual arts.

I have taken classes in just about every artistic discipline and have found great enjoyment in working with clay. 
Here
are a few images of the work that I have made during my time at the
University. Jack Sures has definitely played a part in improving my thrown work, as well as being an inspiration to my work ethic in the
studio. I am also inspired by my good friend and artist Jeff Burgess who
is a multi-talented
individual. I like to think that my work speaks for itself, and art has
always played a role in my life. Here is a sample of a sculpture that I made at the U of R during winter of 2012.
