North coast ceramic artist Randy McClelland brings multiple disciplines and techniques into play in a show influenced by his American and Japanese heritage. The artist is deeply connected to Japanese culture through his family background and time spent living in Japan while studying ceramics as a young man, an experience that permeates every aspect of his work McClelland offers classic, functional ceramic vessels embellished with fired-on decals created from his narrative drawings. Large-scale jugs, crocks, and butter churns are inspired by historic American pottery, while the decals that grace them reflect the artist’s life and interests. More of his drawings appear on two series of wall-mounted skateboard decks. Influences include life on the coast, American history, Japanese mythology, skateboarding, and the artist's cultural experiences as an Asian American
