Brenna Turner
Born and raised in Bentonville, Arkansas, Turner Recently graduated from Alfred University School of Art and Design located in Alfred, New York. Completing her degree with a minor in dance and a focus in hand built ceramic sculptures. Turner fell in love with the movement in her pieces created with the impression of the fingerprint, and with the pinching method used to create sharp edges. Using the hand with all of its components to create an immersive conceptual pattern and searching for connection points within her work as well as pathways within the clay between her impressions, Turner’s work commonly gets compared to organic elements found in everyday nature, such as flora, coral, and more specifically fungi. This is done by the Biomorphic pattern Turner creates within her pieces.
