Pitt-Bradford Hosts Exhibition by Local Artist

The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is hosting an exhibition dedicated to the work of local ceramicist Anne Mormile.

Cultivating her work from clay, forged copper, cast bronze, terracotta, and raku clay, Mormile’s sculptures explore questions surrounding the human condition and question how people find a place both in and outside nature.

“Comparing and merging our humanness to the natural world and the life within that environment helps me describe our connectivity to the presence we live in,” she wrote in her artist’s statement. “The imagery in my current work relates to the philosophy of body and spirit in relation to our existence.”

Mormile, an adjunct professor at Pitt-Bradford, links her artistic skills to her instruction of her students to help foster their creative work. “By sharing my knowledge of ceramics with my students, it is my hope that someday they will be able to go even further with their own explorations in the field than I have.”

Her exhibition, “Of Body and Spirit in Relation to our Existence,” will be held in Blaisdell Hall in KOA Art Gallery through Nov 9.
