Chris Archer Installation

Chris Archer at Kimball-Jenkins

Chelsea Fruci, a junior at New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, experiences the Chris Archer piece, Intimate Immensity: Part I, at the Kimball-Jenkins Estate on Thursday night, November 4, 2010. The piece is one of several by ceramic and 3D design instructor at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester, Chris Archer, who opened his show, "Dialog with the Jill C. Wilson Gallery," Thursday night. Archer created around 1,700 to 1,800 stoneware vessels to create the piece. The piece is an hommage to his relationship with pottery and cups, he said, explaining that an excellent drinking cup is where all the elements come together.

A ceramics and 3D design instructor at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester and a potter for 20 years, Archer said the pieces were designed to be walked on and heighten the perception and physical sensory of the domestic setting. The work will be at the Kimball-Jenkins Estate through November.
