About the Artwork
Ryan LaBar creates precarious sculptures by weaving together ceramic elements that shift and deform in the kiln, causing a cascading series of "failures" that, once hardened enough to remain stable, become a singular whole.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Peninsula College.
