Dr. Luca Molnar – Assistant Professor of Studio Art
Department of Creative Arts
Houndstooth
In the summer of 2020, I undertook the project Tiled under the guidance of Professor Katie Baczeski, who teaches ceramics and sculpture at Stetson. The goals of the project were twofold: to learn the processes required to create handmade ceramic tiles and to advance my recent creative work in the expanded field of painting.
As a culmination of this project, I will host a pop-up exhibition at the top of the stairs leading up to the entrance of the Hand Art Center. Beginning at 9am on Tuesday, March 23, you can view Houndstooth, a completed sculptural work from this project consisting of handmade ceramic tiles. Viewers are invited to join me for an informal artist Q&A hosted on Zoom at 4pm and moderated by Brown Center fellow Dr. Hall. The piece will be de-installed that evening.
