Bean Finneran's ceramic sculptures feel playful, rendered in Play-Doh-esque primary colors and squishy, organic forms, but the artist has spent many years molding "a single elemental shape, a hand-rolled curve of low fire clay that was assembled by the hundreds into temporary sculptures." Properties of Layers represents a serious investigation of clay's various states—liquid, mushy, dry, soft, and even frozen. The resulting sculptures are layered and iterated upon through multiple firing and glazing sessions, so while the bright results may feel spontaneous, they're actually deeply considered.
