UCLA alumnus explores cycles of life and death in ceramics exhibit
From the aging process of clay comes a garden of life.
Curated by alumnus Charles Snowden, the exhibit, “Senescent Stone,” is on display at the Shulamit Nazarian until Oct. 29. As he continues to sculpt ceramic art after his graduation, Snowden said he incorporates the role caretaking and parenting play in gardening as well as the cycle of life and death into each piece of clay.

With his pieces centered on botanical life, he primarily drew inspiration from his newfound interest in gardening during the pandemic, Snowden said.
