Brian Kakas

I met Brian at Janet De Boo opening a couple nights ago. He is currently a candidate in the Doctor of Fine Arts program at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.

Brian makes an amazing work, very large and complex form. Here from his statement " In my experience I achieve set goals by dedication and persistence. By working within parameters I gain: discipline in studio practice, consistency of sculptural forms, and evaluative criteria for which to assess the outcomes. The parameters are set by the materials, methodologies and explorations between tradition and innovation. I strive to create a new perception in the possibilities of form and the tectonics of the ceramic medium for the arts and industry. I am presently exploring the interrelationships and intentions between the maker and the material. Through my aspired process of invention, it is my intent to find natural form by staying true to chosen materials and their inherent properties."
