About the Item
This 3" x 6 " x 5" ceramic work by Oklahoma artist, Roger Runge consists of a wheel-thrown porcelain bowl positioned on a handmade porcelain base sculpted to resemble a natural rock formation. The surface decoration employs commercial ceramic decals featuring purple irises with detailed petal gradations from deep violet to pale lavender, accompanied by green foliage elements.
The supporting "rock" element showcases an irregular, organic form that convincingly mimics weathered stone. The surface treatment combines various green and gray tones, ranging from olive to sage green with charcoal and lighter gray accents, applied to create realistic textural variations.
"I was introduced to pottery as a teenager by a favorite aunt. A true passion for the medium was instilled in me by a charismatic ceramics teacher at Southeast High School in Wichita, KS. As a senior at Norman (OK) High School, I was fortunate to enroll in the first pottery class offered at the Firehouse Art Center. The founders, instructors, artists, and supporters of the Firehouse became my community. I was able to work and teach and serve on the Board of Directors at the Firehouse while I studied Ceramic Design at the University of Oklahoma.
After college, I accepted the position of Resident Potter at a cozy, community craft center, The Craft Alliance, in Shreveport, LA. I taught classes, managed the clay studio, and even lived in an apartment carved out of the attic of the big, old Victorian house that was The Craft Alliance. My position included teaching ceramics classes for LSU-Shreveport and Centenary College.
By the time I returned to Oklahoma as Executive Director of the Firehouse Art Center, I had moved out of the studio and was not making pottery. Professionally, my life moved from non-profit management to graphic design and publishing—with some retail sales management thrown in along the way. Happily, I had an opportunity to pursue another personal passion when I joined the team of the small-but-amazing landscape design firm, Garden Design Associates, in Oklahoma City. As soon as The Studios at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in Oklahoma City opened, I signed on to rent pottery studio space. I've found another community of faculty and staff and fellow renters and students who support and inspire me every day."

Untitled Assemblage #S3-23
, by John Wolfe, Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
John Wolfe's Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture, "Untitled Assemblage #S 3-23" brings together wood, steel, ceramic elements, and acrylic paint. The warm colors of the wood and painted ceramic elements soften the feel of the rectilinear arrangement. The shallow depth of the work gives the sculpture a kind of "drawing" quality while the shadows it casts lend a more expansive feel. The heavy, dark wood base anchors all aspects of the work in place. This work is the perfect tabletop piece. It's large enough to command attention, but also subtle in its open framework arrangement.
