A duo exhibition featuring decorative functional pottery by Nebraska potter Taylor Sijan and Illinois potter Mike Stumbras.

Taylor Sijan crafts functional pottery that is richly decorated with layers of abstracted botanical imagery. Mike Stumbras makes ceramic vessels that are inspired by 18th and 19th century European production ware, which is also highly decorated and takes cues from nature. Showing these artists together in one gallery will highlight how human nature informs function and how nature insipires innovation.
