Teacher Tuesday (Spring 2024) (event)

A ceramic sculpture against a gray-toned backdrop. The sculpture has a light beige base, with designs and figures painted in black and muted red-orange. The top of the sculpture is a bust of a man. His hair is up in buns with the sides of his head shaved bare, and he is wearing a cloak painted with stripes and squares. Flowing down from him on the base of the sculpture are 2D paintings and 3D protruding figures. These figures are a mix of men and women. They are dressed in different kinds of masks and helmets.
