Artist Talk: William McKinney
🗣️ Artist Talk: William McKinney
📅 October 2, 11 am | 📍 Richardson Performance HallBorn in Morgantown, West Virginia, William is a ceramic artist and educator whose work explores the intersection of industry, nature, and environmental action. His sculptural work reflects the environmental impact of coal and gas industries on Appalachia’s landscapes, serving as both a critique and a call to action. Using stoneware, colored porcelain slip, and wood firing techniques, he creates forms that embody the tension between natural forces and human intervention, often incorporating multiple firings and Egyptian paste to enhance surface depth and complexity.Generously sponsored by Del Mar College Cultural Programs Committee.
