Hawks in the Mud

A ceramic sculpture of a set of legs, standing in red sneakers. One of the sneakers has three bird-like claws emerging from the toe of the shoe and one from the rear. A tentacle with many tiny teeth lining the edges has wrapped around the legs near the knees.

HFC’s Sisson Gallery hosted the Michigan Mud exhibit which features pottery work from both student artists and professional artists in their respective crafts. The event lasted from October 23 to the following day though the artwork is still on display at the Sisson. Fine Arts Professors such as Hashim Al-Tawil and Steve Glazer participated along with students like Nate Zrnich, Sophia Hart, and Sarah Boswell. All represented HFC in the exhibition that included various other schools from Michigan and Northern Ohio.

Flower House: The Blooming of Hope

A bathroom has many flowers arranged to cover flat surfaces in an artful manner. A toilet seat has a cover made of bright, fuchsia colored flowers. The bathtub is filed with blue flowers. A shower curtain is made of many strands of orange mums strung together. A tissue box on the toilet's tank is covered in moss.

In Detroit, the decay of the urban landscape is nothing new. Entire neighborhoods are reduced to mere ghosts of what they were in their heyday. That is our reality. Nature is reclaiming what was once its own, with ivy vines covering entire sides of abandoned houses and moss reaching inside buildings to line the floors with fantasy-like carpet. With so many buildings falling apart, a question sneaks into the mind: should we allow nature to reclaim these symbols of our failures?
