Free Artist Talk with VISITING Resident
Pierce Haley

Saturday, April 4 starting at 11am

Join us for a FREE artist talk with Visiting Resident Artist Pierce Haley.

Originally from Orinda, California, his father’s work as an architect, has been a major influence in Haley’s work. His father uses modern mid-century architecture in his building designs, which has been a great inspiration to Haley.

Haley uses a combination of 3-D printing, slip casting and mold making to create large installations and tessellation.

Learn more about his practice and inspirations, as well as the body of work he’s creating at Belger Arts during his artist talk.
