Artist: Deighton Abrams | Location: Seneca, SC
Seneca, SC
Deighton Abrams recently completed his Ceramics MFA from Clemson University. He has taught a number of ceramics courses as a graduate teacher of record as well as ceramic classes for both children and adults at The Arts Center, Clemson, South Carolina and Gallery S.P.A.C.E. in Savannah, Georgia. While a student at Clemson he was awarded a number of grants including the Clemson Art Department Scholarship for study in Jingdezhen, China and the Professional Enrichment Grant for artist research in Iceland. He was raised in the Far North of Alaska but spent an equal amount of time in the Deep South of Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina. He has used these experiences spent in varied landscapes to inform work that focuses mainly on the tenuous balance between human and landscape. Utilizing abstracted geologic and glacial forms, Deighton creates complex narratives about the human psyche and its impact on the surrounding landscape.
