All Over The Map

Each semester, a group of Florida State University’s undergraduate museum studies students have the opportunity to develop an original exhibition. From March 3 through April 4 2023, they are pleased to present All Over The Map, a selection of artist Carolyn Ford‘s tondi (ceramic sgraffiti disks) in the WJB Gallery.

Carolyn Ford will provide an artist talk on Thursday, March 2 from 5:30pm-6:30pm in WJB G40 before the opening reception in WJB Gallery at 6:30pm. The artist talk and reception are free, and all are encouraged to attend.

All Over The Map explores Ford’s creative wanderings, taking into special consideration how experiencing places far from home often brings into better focus the meaning or meanings of “home.” Ceramic is one of the oldest art forms. The media and processes of ceramics have been used for artistic, aesthetic, and practical purposes that bring the creator in close contact with the world’s physical content and the viewer their surrounding context. Ford combines clay and sgraffito to, similarly, bring together her adventures at home and abroad.
