Christopher Shaw Algorithm:Archetype -Northwest African American Museum [temporary exhibit]

The exhibition Christopher Shaw’s Algorithm:Archetype examined the spiritual bridge between notions of design and processes of divination. Shaw presented minimalist works in clay with invitations to his audience to engage with the idea and thought to consider how objects carry the seeds of culture. Shaw, a Seattle based ceramic artist, designer and engineer, examined both concept and value when delivering his ceramic based voice of fine art. Leaning on his confidence and training in mathematics and three dimensional art, Shaw set forth an exhibit that reconstructed an aesthetic awareness through transformative expression, cultural history and contemporary experiences.
