Anxiety as Art: A Ceramic Dialogue | Lawrence News

Reece Henderson, the new ceramics artist in residence at the Lawrence Arts Center, transforms his anxiety into art—using personal fears and global worries as raw material for powerful, hopeful ceramic pieces. His work grapples with loss and tragedy through symbols like tree stumps, yet balances them with resilient blooms that echo life’s cycles. He weaves in comforting objects inspired by personal talismans, crafting a visual dialogue on mental resilience. For his yearlong project, he’s designing an immersive “meditative garden” of clay and wood, inviting visitors into a sensory experience. Beyond creating, he’ll teach classes next month, seeing teaching as both a gift and a tool to process his own anxieties.
