    Chad Curtis will be presenting his newest body of work, reconfigured specifically for the gallery space, entitled Speculative Landscapes. This multimedia construction incorporates ceramics with found objects, live plants and a digitally designed support system of shelving. Live moss encased in terrariums, referencing the Industrial Revolution when these miniature garden landscapes became popular, alludes to Curtis’ interest in the shift in the relationship between humankind and nature that occurred so rapidly in the 19th century. This is combined with multiple clay evergreen trees signifying the artificiality of the ideal landscape, both in the past as well as today. Curtis received an M.F.A. from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, Alfred, NY. He is an Assistant Professor at Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA. Previously, Curtis taught at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA, and Pomona College, Claremont, CA.
