Artist: Brent Pafford
Title: Skillets
Year: 2013

Artist's Statement: Skillets At the intersection between generations things are lost, items loose their potency in daily life; rarely are objects created, manufactured, or bought with intentions to spend a quality amount of time with them, care for them, and pass them along to younger generations. The work I create is also a reaction to the time in which it is being created.

$20,000 Best in Show!

The Muskingum County Community Foundation, in partnership with the Zanesville Museum of Art, the Ohio Arts Council, the Potters Council and the Artist Colony of Zanesville (ArtCOZ), is seeking entries in functional, sculptural, figurative and tile ceramics.
