Art Exhibition that features work from Andrea Moon and Dryden Wells
Spaces Between is a conversation of process; building in new directions with clay that dialog surface design, technical processes, and materiality to build structures. Both ceramic artists, Andrea Moon and Dryden Wells create artworks that ask the viewer to look between the lines and through the negative space to understand form and reflect content.
Andrea Moon constructs complex ceramic structures through the repetition of simple forms. By stacking stoneware ribbons or building coils into basket-like structures, Moon produces networks with each piece relying on its neighbor to build a larger whole. Outside of the studio, Moon has prioritized the construction of a strong arts community, directing residency and education programs at the Red Lodge Clay Center, The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China, and Craft Alliance in St. Louis. She currently is a lecturer of ceramics at Washington University, St. Louis.
Dryden Wells is a ceramicist and sculptor based in St. Louis, whose work is inspired by the process of creation. With years of experience as an instructor, fabricator, and technician of metals, ceramics, and wood, Wells’ sense of curiosity and discovery guides his artistic practice. Drawing inspiration from “the act of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction,” Wells creates work with polish, playfulness, and a commitment to craft.
