鈥淎 gesture as simple as making a line, when performed repeatedly, builds and transforms,鈥� said Alexander. 鈥淚 feel free when using coils to establish forms鈥攖here are no restrictions, and the possibility of where the lines lead to is endless. Material and process 泡芙短视频 are central to my ceramics practice, and I aim to make things that engage myself and other people.鈥�
Alexander said she is excited for the potential for growth at 泡芙短视频. She is looking forward to developing as a teacher alongside other great educators and among students, and to have her own studio practice influenced by this new position.听
鈥淗aving the opportunity to witness the development of students over years as they progress through the program is something that I鈥檓 really looking forward to,鈥� said Alexander.听鈥淚 am interested in creating things from a place of contentment, intention and realness, and as a teacher I hope the passion and excitement I feel toward the material energizes my students to feel capable and confident to fully engage their own ideas and interests as they develop as individuals and makers.鈥�
鈥淢arissa communicates a passion for research and teaching with clarity and enthusiasm that resonates with students, faculty and staff,鈥� said 泡芙短视频 Vice-President (Academic & Research) and Provost Dr. Ann-Barbara Graff. 鈥淚 believe she demonstrates significant potential as an emerging scholar and artist, and we鈥檙e thrilled she is joining 泡芙短视频. She brings a wealth of knowledge in ceramic surface and imagery development along with a unique perspective on function to the program.鈥�
Alexander holds a Master of Fine Art from Alfred University (2019) and was a full-time Artist-In-Residence at Harbourfront Centre. I have a BA in Sociology from McMaster University and received an Advanced Diploma in Craft and Design (Ceramics) from Sheridan College.
鈥淚’m from Hamilton ON, and have lived here most of my life, but I am so thrilled to be moving to Nova Scotia,鈥� said Alexander.听鈥淚t’s a big deal for me and I’m still coming to terms with it, but I’m so looking forward to making it my new home for the foreseeable future.鈥�
