Steve Reynolds: Serial Investigations in Sculpture is now on display at the Landmark Arts Gallery in the Art building. “It resonates on a personal level for me,” said David Mondt, assistant director and curator of Landmark Arts Gallery, about the Equinox Porcelain series in the gallery. This series consists of a row of mainly white tablets with splatters and sections of brown, blue and gold, each tablet with a different nongeometrical shape. Humanoid figures emerge from some, others are buckled, twisted or scaled, but printed on each is a form of language. Chinese characters, a diagram of evolution, Sumerian, complex lines of music and other types of communication that words do not justify. “Art is a universal language,” said Juan Granados, an associate professor in ceramics. He said he believes art tries to convey something and to say something. “(Art) is visual, conceptual and perceptual,” Granados said. Reynolds’ work explodes with meaning just like his Vinci piece explodes from the frame. The work starts in a collage with only three corners framed; it morphs into other frames that display Reynolds’ family history. Wires jet out from the side of the frame then the wires themselves frame other ceramic works, and bold words in Old English font — Vinci, Daw, I. Kant and

Techne Hem Syntax. Art was not the only way Reynolds tried to pass his studies, wisdom and knowledge to the next generation. He taught at Texas Tech in the 70s. “I was frequently wonderstruck while listening to Steve converse with his students,” said James A. Broderick in the companion book to the gallery, which carries the same name as the exhibit: “Steve Reynolds: Serial Investigations in Sculpture.” “Trenchant critiques of students’ current works and some of the most challenging readings and rigorous discourse found in their academic pursuits,” he said about Reynolds’ teaching. Mondt said the Landmark Arts Gallery has a new exhibit every month during the spring and fall semesters. “It’s a great opportunity to see artwork from someone who will likely go down in history,” Mondt said. Reynolds’ art is in part about history and how it hurries, but more so about how we should link it to the present through ceramics, tagging or ink. He thought about mating rituals that society has now termed dating or relationships. He thought about death and life and the things in between, but none of this can be seen. Granados said the exhibit is better understood by viewing instead of describing. “You can … ,” he paused, trying to explain his point. “Well, let’s just look at it.” ➤➤pwheat@dailytoreador.com
