Jacob Burmood
Ceramic Sculpture
In 2006, Burmood received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture from Missouri State University in Springfield, where he was born. He resided for several years in Columbia, and is excited to return for this exhibition. Since childhood Burmood has had a strong desire to carve and construct three-dimensional forms, which led to the pursuit of a degree in sculpture. Since graduation, the artist has continued developing these forms, as well as teaching art foundations courses at the Missouri State University, Springfield. Burmood currently is exploring graduate programs to continue his education.
”My intention for each sculpture is to create a calm yet dynamic form, one that looks like it is undergoing a painless evolution. The reason I make these is because I believe it is healthy to explore form with certain guidelines and principles of art, such as balance and harmony. Through this process I feel better equipped to translate these principles to my daily life with the philosophy developed through this exploration.”
