Exhibit Statement:
As stated by American Architect Louis Sullivan,
"Whether it be the sweeping eagle in his flight, or the open apple-blossom, the toiling work-horse, the blithe swan, the branching oak, the winding stream at its base, the drifting clouds, over all the coursing sun, form ever follows function, and this is the law."
For example; a chair has a certain form because it serves a certain function. The saying goes that when form follow function an object is more desirable, more successful. But when does that object become a work or art? This happens when its form---its materials, concepts and processes--and its function--its purpose of use--are so skillfully coordinated and presented that the piece transcends strict functionality it enters into the realm of art. Form/Function presents artists who have become so skilled in their practice with functional materials (wood, clay, metal) that their works need to be under the lens of observation and appreciation
