Second from Kuraoka's 'To-Know' list is Tony Marsh. Marsh is an Alfred graduate and has been teaching at Cal State Long Beach for near 20 years. He is currently the Head of Ceramics, and has been for years. Marsh is most famously noted for his perforated vessels which are a shinning example of technical skill and conceptual prowess. Personally, the artist's work has taught me not to be afraid of subtraction... and also how much fun it is to punch holes in things.

I know less than nothing about ceramics but this work is really beautiful. I'll keep tuning in for further education.
