Ceramic Masks
The human face in texture, expression and form.
In this body of work, Evan Oberholster explores the emotional depth of the human face through hand-formed ceramic masks. Each piece offers a tactile study in surface and feeling — from fractured, smoky raku-fired finishes to richly patterned glazes layered with intricate detail.
