“Nos tempos contemporâneos, “camuflagem” refere-se a um limiar visível visual entre o que pode ser visto e compreendido e aquilo que escapa à detecção e a percepção. A camuflagem pode servir como um ato de ocultação ou um truque visual que mascara a presença, esconde a intenção e aproveita a dinâmica da compreensão e do posicionamento de alguém para obter certas vantagens estratégicas” As esculturas de Toni Graton (@toni_graton), Christopher Miles (@christophermilesstudio) e Julia Isidrez (@juliaisidrez) se apoiam no conceito da camuflagem de diferentes maneiras, dialogando com o ambiente da Sala 08 do Museu Oscar Niemeyer (@museuoscarniemeyer). — Dr. Royce W. Smith (@deanroycewsmith), curador. A exposição Camuflagens está em cartaz na Sala 08 do Museu Oscar Niemeyer (@museuoscarniemeyer), em Curitiba, até 15/11. —— “In contemporary times, ‘camouflage’ refers to a visible threshold between what can be seen and understood and that which eludes detection and perception. Camouflage can serve as an act of concealment or a visual ruse that masks presence, hides intent, and leverages the dynamics of how one is perceived and positioned, in order to gain specific strategic advantages.” The sculptures by Toni Graton (@toni_graton), Christopher Miles (@christophermilesstudio), and Julia Isidrez (@juliaisidrez) engage with the concept of camouflage in distinct ways, entering into a dialogue with the environment of Room 08 at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum (@museuoscarniemeyer). — Dr. Royce W.

Thank you to @tylergreenbooks for having Meg Linton, Steve Comba, and me on the Modern Art Notes Podcast this week. I had a great time talking about Steve Roden’s work, his influence across so many genres, and how we plan to carry his work and legacy forward by using it to inspire students and the broader region. Also, special shoutout to Leslie Jones and Chris Miles, both of whom steered me toward Steve’s work early in my career. And, of course, Sari Roden! 🔗 Link in bio.

It's been an honor to not only be graduating with a BFA in ceramics, but also play a role as a treasurer for the most memorable and vocal community that I have been a part in, which is the one and only Ceramic Arts Club at CSULB! This studio has provided me all the things I needed to grow as an artist, which is a place to be productive, learn new approaches to working with clay, and most importantly, to bond with my colleagues and enjoy every moment with them. I will most definitely miss leaving this college, but I will never forget the joy and talent of every person that I have come across in the studio, and I cannot wait to see what they bring to the table when I revisit it someday!

I’m still riding high from @nceca in Detroit 🖤 The conference feels like a family reunion for clay enthusiasts — and being in that community fills me up. I reconnected with fellow makers and met new ones. I left inspired by the work, the exhibitions, the makers, and the endless possibilities of creative expression with clay. Seeing my own work in the annual exhibition Absence Takes Form @wassermanprojects was so cool. It was my first time in Detroit, and I was pleasantly surprised by the artsy vibe and the nice balance of city and suburbs, with spaces for artists to thrive. Anyone have studio space for me? 😊 Until we meet again next year in Baltimore, let clay feed our curiosity. #nceca2026 #potters #ceramicartists

Recently got my degree in the mail 🤯 Sad that its over, but grateful that it happened 💔❣️ Stoked to be part of @csulbceramicartsstudies legacy as a BFA student. Proud of myself for sticking it out & for all the things I learned about myself. Happy to have meet so many amazing, creative & caring ppl. Cheers to my friends & peers who have also graduated or will be graduating soon ! 🍻 Thank you to Chris Miles, Tony Marsh, Chris Miller, Claudia Solorzano, Nicki Green, Katie Grinnan, & Bryan Crockett - your support, feedback & encouragement will never be forgotten. Being able to be in a creative space with these folks as a student will have a lasting impact on me as an artist, a person and maybe even future educator ! 🥲 ⭐️ Excited for what’s to come :-) 📸: Christina McAllister @exouarts

Documenting my workspace before I clear out. I've been working in the same place for a year and a half now and though it's relatively small and literally in a hall, I’ve really enjoyed my time here. Situated at the intersection of the main halls in the building, the space has facilitated many interactions and conversations that I don't think I would've otherwise had. One of my favorite memories is when a group of high school students touring the university came through and interacted with one of my sculptures. Hearing their completely unfiltered opinions about the work and watching them take selfies with it warmed my heart. Or more recently, making molds of/sculpting Emilia's hands during the final weeks before their graduation. I'm grateful for my time here and want to thank everyone that stopped by, had a cup of coffee and sat in the orange chair (pulled from the dumpster my first semester). You kept me company during the long days and nights at school and have made my experience at CSULB much, much richer. I’ll be in Korea for the spring and when I come back, I’ll be working in a different space. So, I wish goodbye to my workspace of 1.5 years. May you be as good to the next student as you were to me.
