For a short period of time in college, I studied ceramic sculpture with the guidance of Judy Hurimoto at UC Santa Cruz. She was an avid fan of Robert Arneson and an exceptional San Francisco Bay Area conceptual artist who has incredible insight on techniques with clay. She validated stoneware as a fine art medium. All of the sculptures I created deal with religious, sexual, and psychological ethics. This theme was influenced by my simultaneous pursuit of a degree in psychology. copyright 1999 All images, designs and text in this page cannot be sold or used without written consent from Arnold H.
