Benjamin Cirgin: re-(c)leave

Benjamin Cirgin is a multi-media artist currently serving as the Ceramics Area Head and Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Eastern Kentucky University in the Department of Art and Design. The works on view in re-(c)leave are inspired in part by Cirgin’s experience working as a designer, carpenter, cabinet maker, stone fabricator, art preparator, and life negotiator. He merges this background with his ceramic process to create abstract forms and casts of significant objects, functional pottery, and multi-medium constructed scenes.
