Thank you to everyone who came out and supported my artist talk for Earth, Sky, and Water this past weekend!!

The talk touched on where I find my inspiration regarding form and color, the connection to my materials, building process, and my insight I take away during the creation of a sculpture

We were also graced with the Head of the Art Department for Oklahoma State University at the talk. Thanks for the support sir!

Maryalice Carroll
SHOP 108 Featured Artist for October - November 2026

Artist Statement:

“I attempt to find acquiescence in physical discomfort with the use of textural glazes layered on top of each other. I create lumpy Beings covered in exaggerated pores, or holes, that are oozing bodily fluid, or glaze. The Beings are abstract forms made out of clay that are physical representations of my emotional self. The Beings serve as an extension of the sensations I feel on a daily basis, animated by way of curves and lumps. I have termed them Beings because they are not quite human, but they hold the essence of being alive. The surfaces of the clay objects offer an analogy to being overstimulated to the point of discomfort. As a hyper-sensitive person, both emotionally and physically, I’ve grown keenly aware of my body’s reaction to stress. Psychosomatically, my skin will start to feel almost electric and crunchy, the pores on my body swell up. I feel every single pore, and each one tingling; this is overwhelming enough to bring me to tears. Those tears mix with the uncontrollable sweat that may or may not be real. Despite its severity, this feeling is invisible; in this clay, I attempt to create physical representations of invisible sensations.”

Shimmer Tickles: The inspiration for this piece was as simple as watching water trickle down my living room window during a small rain.

I formed this piece through an extruding method where I twist the clay as it is being extruded to create the twists. The glaze on these individual pieces is a metallic glaze that resembles gold when fired to Cone 5/6 in an electric firing.

The idea for this piece has been in my sketchbook for years and now that it is in existence, I believe this is my favorite piece of the show! taken in 108 Contemporary by @108contemporary

Our first ever Museum THAT! event was a huge success, bringing the signing community together for a weekend of ASL tours, workshops, activities, and social events across Tulsa’s major art museums and cultural centers. Deaf guides led participants through local and art history with impressive exhibitions and spaces to host lively discussions.

Museum THAT! hosted family outings, date nights, and new friendships formed through having ASL-led events. Visitors across six states joined us with the local community for an unforgettable weekend.

Thank you to our venue partners: @108contemporary @bobdylancenter @guthriegreen @gilcreasemuseum @greenwoodculturalcentertulsa @philbrookmuseum @woodyguthriecenter. As well as 101 Archer @lortondaleclubpool @HotelBrut and Deaf Night Out Oklahoma.

108|Contemporary presents the work of Austin Navrkal in "Earth, Sky, and Water" on view October 2 – November 21, 2026. Austin Navrkal’s work is inspired by various natural phenomena, depicting dynamic and tranquil characteristics of color and form found within sunrises and sets, cloud formations, flow of rivers and wave formations. His sculptures express the idea of process and journey. There is a relationship he shares with each piece as it is created, his work encounters predictable and unexpected situations giving them unique characteristics through the process. In noticing these qualities of a sculpture he is able to self-reflect and contemplate on the moments that have shaped him.
