<p><span style="font-weight:400">Russel Wrankle, ceramic sculptor, will be our sixth presenter of the semester. Mr.
Wrankle grew up in the “boonies” outside of Palm Springs, California. He spent his
childhood hunting in the desert outside his home. Coming from a blue-collar background,
he always assumed that he would work in manual labor, but that changed when he took
his first ceramics class in college. Today he is an associate professor of art at
Southern Utah University, where he teaches 3D and 2D design, multimedia and ceramic
sculpture.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">According to Wrankle, he tells “<span>visual stories with the use of animal imagery. In my work I wrestle with existential
questions of life and death through the symbolism of the body and animals. My intensely
saturated ceramic figures represent the decadence of worldly pleasures, a vibrant
source of energy that is antithetical to death and dying. It is through embracing
life and living that the pull of death and suffering is kept at a distance.”</span></span></p>
