GRUBB BOY CERAMICS
LAURA BOYCE & MATT GRUBER
OKLAHOMA

         


Grub Boy is a collaboration between Laura Boyce and Matt Gruber. They have come together as artists in different mediums to celebrate life with their ideas about society through the vessel. The vessel creates a surface for the narrative nature of the imagery to become interactive with the viewer. The roundness of the form also conveys a blurred sense of time commonly found in dreams. The main concern is not that the viewer understands a specific message from the piece, but that they leave it confident that the narrative was well executed.
