BIOGRAPHY
Artist, Brandon Reese, works primarily with stoneware and porcelain. He received his BFA in sculpture from the Kansas City Art Institute where he became proficient in bronze, cast iron, steel, wood, and ceramics. While in Kansas City, he apprenticed with Jim Leedy until pursuing a graduate degree specializing in ceramics at Bowling Green State University. There, he had the privilege of working with artists Jun Kaneko, Don Reitz, and Peter Voulkos.
While at Bowling Green, he focused on salt and wood firing for creating unusual and varied surfaces on each sculpture. Upon graduation, Reese was hired by Oklahoma State University as an assistant professor in its newly expanded ceramics department. In addition to teaching, Reese regularly exhibits his large-scale ceramic sculptures. His work has been exhibited in Germany, Taiwan, and across the United States.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Life motivates my work. An amalgamation of memories, images, and relationships inspires all that I do. My fascination with architecture and patterns in life becomes the language that exposes my intrigue with the relationships that connect individuals. Scale heightens the visual experience of these structural investigations… playfully defining space and pushing the boundaries of ceramics. My work also relates to my belief that the best part of life is the process; and that true success comes when one can wear all of the marks that life leaves with beauty and grace, allowing them to become an integral part; and serving as mementos of where one came from and how one got there. My art wears fingerprints, cuts, dents, and other texturing as a roadmap and documentation of its creation.
We hold an innate desire to build, to grow, to leave our mark. The playfulness and precariousness in my pieces show the dichotomy of our fragility and strength.
My recent body of work is about inviting the viewer into the space it consumes. What isn't there is as important as what is there. The multiple pieces coming together into one collaborative design speaks to the belief that we are our best when we are in relationships with others. Although we maintain our own individual identities, when we are paired with others we are stronger and make a much greater impact on the world around us. The circles in my pieces symbolize eternal life and remind us so delicately that our experience on earth is temporary and at times too brief. But the foundational element of love lasts beyond our existence, and if we are fortunate, we leave added value and beauty to those we have laughed, cried, and lived alongside.
