Alice Federico Art
Alice Federico was born in Selma, Alabama in 1945. She received a BA degree in history from Hollins University in 1967, an MFA in ceramics from East Carolina University in 1977, as well as a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute in 1983. Trained first as a historian, historical pots have always influenced her work. That influence includes Chinese Sung ware, Greek vases and Italian folk work. But it was researching the crisp forms and simple glazes of English potter Dame Lucie Rie which gave her hours of pleasure. Federico’s work is always anchored in the vase form as thrown on the potter’s wheel. Small necks, longshanks and bulbous bellies are her hallmark. They are derived from the historical form. Her surfaces, also, are singular. The dark grainy surfaces of 10 years ago and the bright palate she uses are the results of experimenting with raw materials such as talc, feldspar and dolomite. Her forms move and gesture and the color is bright and abstract. It is as though she is deconstructing the influences she embraced.

"Pompeii, " Mixed Media Sculpture
By Michael Thompson
Located in Chicago, IL
Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. In his ongoing series of memory jugs, Thompson adorns stoneware vessels with a kaleidoscope of ceramic shards, found objects, and pocket-sized trinkets he collected over the course of his life.
Also known as forget-me-not jugs or spirit jars, memory jugs are African American folk art objects that honor a loved one who has recently passed. Small tokens and mementos of the deceased are gathered and affixed to the exterior of a jug or vase, an abundance of memories that celebrates a life lived to the fullest.
Michael Thompson applies this tradition to his own practice, creating tactile assemblages of this and that. Formed in the manner of collage, each jug honors the lost memories of generations past and his own memories of personally discovering each item. With varied sources for materials including Kyoto, Turkey, and Mexico, a great number of the found shards are 18th and 19th century ceramics...
