Studio Spotlight: 4/3/36
Meet Will, one of our studio volunteers and a UC Berkeley student studying Molecular Environmental Biology and landscape architecture. Between field sketches and studio sessions, he’s been developing a ceramic series recreating trash cans from around Berkeley.
About the Project
This project started with noticing. As someone who spends a lot of time doing field sketches outdoors, Will became fascinated by the subtle differences between the trash cans you pass every day. The ones managed by UC Berkeley’s waste management, the Ecology Center, and the City of Berkeley each have their own distinct form. He wanted to capture that.
You might also recognize Will from his graffiti cups and mugs. That focus continues here. The tags on each trash can are replicated from real graffiti he’s spotted around the city. He loves how the surface of the can is a canvas where a tag can exist.
