“Decompose” in James S. Murray Gallery through Sept. 13

Ceramic art by Kyle AndersonThere is still time to view the ceramic exhibit “Decompose” by Greenville artist Kyle Anderson in the James S. Murray Gallery. The exhibit can be viewed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Sept. 13.

The impetus behind the body of sculptural ceramic work shown in Anderson’s “Decompose” is his brother’s diagnosis of muscular dystrophy. “His body is literally withering away, and he can do nothing to stop it. Wrinkles on faces tell stories, and I am broken because my brother doesn’t have a chance to develop those stories and wrinkles,” explains Anderson. “We should be in constant celebration for having the ability to draw breath.”
