OVersight exhibition

10/3/2016

Last month I met with my friends Ken Steinbach and Cam Anderson as Ken and I set up for our exhibition Oversight. My installation "Borderline" is making its Midwest debut in this space, and I have a few other pieces and even some pots there as well. Ken Steinbach's Memoria Animus series is also there and not to be missed! The two bodies of work compliment each other beautifully, suggesting questions about our relationship to the environment, our personal and collective memories, and ways our past shapes our understanding of the present.
More information about the opening can be found on the CIVA website here.

About David

David J. P. Hooker lives and works in the greater Chicago area, where he is an artist and Chair of the Art Department at Wheaton College. He received an M.F.A. in Ceramics from Kent State University and a B.A. in English from Furman University.

His artistic practice explores the inherent value of materials, objects, and places, hoping to find ways to better connect and understand the world we live in. Recently he was awarded the Dunhuang Ceramic Residency and spent two months as artist in residence in Lanzhou, China.

When David is not freaking out over deadlines, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Elaine, his children Abbey and Samuel, and the family cat, Evee. He also enjoys baseball, BBQ, and tennis—not necessarily in that order.
