 Mark Lyman of SOFA (Sculptural Objects Functional Art invited Gerry to exhibit at the show.
Gerry’s exhibit, designed by Sherry Pardee and installed by Ben Upchurch and Joe Meinecke was a smashing success.  Sherry’s pics of the installation are below.   Hundreds of people stopped by; we were thrilled. 


"In artist Gerry Eskin’s world, big is best. His ceramic works include towering columnar forms and massive anthropomorphic vessels informed by Middle Eastern sarcophagi. Eskin’s large-scale panoramic prints depict the spectacular geological formations and desert landscape vistas near Moab, Utah. Monumental in scale, the ceramic pieces and photographic panels create an environmental installation exploring sacred mountain landscapes and their relation to burial rituals. "
