Side Work.
a one-day solo show
Side Work is a selection of ceramic works by Tre Fisher made during and between shifts teaching and working as a technician at various studios and institutions from 2022-2024.
Side Work will be on display at house mouse in the courtyard for one day only. Join us to appreciate and revel in the musings and experimentations of Tre Fisher.
From the artist:
Works included begin with the Coffee Cat (made to serve as the LACC ceramics lab piggy bank) and ending with Tubthumper (large blue and white vase) were made largely while either teaching or kiln-teching around Los Angeles. The forms were made on the fly during demos where the core sentiment was learning how to listen to what the clay wanted to be rather than try to force it into something preconceived. During this time I would joke that each work was “just a test tile for glazing” but I think I was on the mark when I said it. Much of this work centered around my first toe dip into glaze formulation highlighted by works such as Ferdinand and That Cactus I saw at Norton Simon.
UPDATE: Side Work has been rescheduled to September 28th
