As the countdown approaches its close, we present for you images of work by Shoshi Kanokohata and Kathleen Ryan, both of whom received their MFA in Ceramics from UCLA this year. Both artists create beautifully striking work that differs significantly from each other, despite their studios being down the hall from each other. The following images are from Kanokohata and Ryan’s thesis exhibitions at the New Wight Gallery at UCLA.
