For many of the works featured in Vessels of Communication artist Albert Pfarr uses a porcelain material to create artwork using 3D printed molds. This first series in this new direction he has explored is a collection of ceramic book forms.

The books are inspired by the idea that cuneiform tablets were some of the first clay objects intended to pass along information. Humankind's ability to move large amounts of information has now led to the ability to 3D print. These books are an expression of how much information we can now transfer through various mediums. While the processes are always changing, humankind continues to develop ways to pass information through time.

Albert Pfarr is a ceramic artist, 3D printing and ceramic materials developer, and a teacher. He earned his MFA at Alfred University and has taught ceramics and sculpture at Washington University in St. Louis, The Clay Art Center, Greenwich House Pottery in New York and many workshops around the country. His artwork has been featured in Sculpture Magazine, Art & Perception and Ceramics Monthly. He has shown his art throughout the U.S. and in South Korea, Argentina, and the Netherlands. He grew up in Long Island, New York, and lives in Missoula, Montana with his family.

This exhibit runs through October 30. Gallery hours are M-F 12-5pm, Sat 12-3pm
