Wesley Harvey: Digital Debut

July 1, 2022 - August 31, 2022

at Belger Crane Yard Studios
2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108

Our July/August Digital Debut is Wesley Harvey. Wesley combines found imagery from 1960's male physique magazines with geometric patterns, floral designs, and gold to create functional work with elaborate decoration and ornament. Through the lens of queer theory, Wesley examines what it means to be gay, queer, and cisgender for himself and those around him. His work will be available for purchase July 1 (10 am CST).

Wesley Harvey is originally from Van Buren, Indiana, "the popcorn capital of the world." He received his BFA in Ceramics in 2002 from Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana and then received his MFA in Ceramics in 2007 from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Wesley has exhibited his artwork both nationally and internationally and is also a curator.
