Introducing Open Experimental Studio resident artist Richard Boehnke, who will be making and sculpting at LSU School of Art Glassell Gallery each Tuesday, Thursday, Friday evening, and Saturday from May 25-June 14th.

Richard will facilitate a community clay sculpture and clay hand building sessions. He’s eager to experiment with recording the sounds of bone-dry clay vessels submerged in water as they disintegrate. Come make a cup and experiment with Richard!

Using the plasticity of clay, Boehnke plays with line and gesture to make pieces that imply attitude and movement. He aims to create work that invites the viewer to imagine the pieces motion, drawing inspiration from how he sees people moving through the world. He has a deep interest in the interplay between craft, play, and value–challenging how an audience can engage with the work, sometimes inviting its destruction.

Boehnke is an MFA candidate at Louisiana State University and business professional living in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He has worked in the United States, Vietnam, India, and the Netherlands, working across science and engineering, and he strives to connect that experience to his ceramic work and teaching philosophy.
