Visual Artist Series Lecture

[Kimberly Hall-Stone]

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.

According to Wrankle, he tells “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.”
Mr. Wrankle will give a presentation via Zoom on* Wednesday, November 3,
2021, at 7:30 p.m.* Please note that the Zoom invitation says the beginning
time is 7:00 but it actually begins at 7:30.  This gives the artist 30
minutes to prepare their presentation.  Thank you for your attention to
this.

The Visual Artist Lecture Series is made possible through the support of
the Student Association and the Campus Arts Council.  All presentations are
free and open to the public.
