Annually, each school may enter artworks, either functional or non-functional, whose primary medium is clay. The works must be original in concept and executed solely by the student. The blind jurying is held at Sayreville War Memorial High School. Teachers and their students participate in a variety of clay related activities while awaiting the judge's decision.

Jack Knight
May 10 - August 10, 2025
Reception Date: May 10, 2024: 1:00 - 3:00 PM
The Ontario Series began as Jack transitioned from the previous Andromeda Series (2019-2022) of about 60 works of constructions that were more spontaneous. These new works have been contemplated visually for maybe a week or so. The work reads architecturally from top to bottom and is constructed the same way. The box sections are assembled separately and used to visualize the whole. Each piece is built on the studio floor, starting from the top. Oftentimes, objects, colors, and shapes are swapped out until the complete piece emerges.
