Sharif Bey: Autoethnography

Opening Reception: February 12th, 5-7pm

February 12 - July 19, 2026

Sharif Bey is an ambidextrous user of clay, as comfortable making pots as he is making poetic figures, daunting wall pieces or the gargantuan necklaces of his “Adornment” series. His work can be read at many levels – as an exploration of the multifaceted “ethnos” of his life; as an investigation of how meanings can shift according to context; as a ceramic practice that refuses to remain fixed in any one category, celebrating instead the endless possibilities of the medium. This show presents the diversity of Bey’s practice, which nevertheless retains a united, and utterly unique, style and vision.

Eugene Ofori Agyei: Fihankra (You Did Not Say Goodbye When You Left Home)

Opening Reception: February 12th, 5-7pm

February 12 - July 19, 2026

Eugene Agyei arrived at Alfred University in 2023, chosen by the Division of Ceramic Art faculty  as the Turner Teaching Fellow in the School of Art & Design at the New York State College of Ceramics. Over the course of the following years, he formed a bond with the students, faculty and entire community, all the while developing his own complex body of work. In this exhibition, Agyei borrows from the tradition of Adinkra symbolism, native to his homeland of Ghana, in which a single symbol can express a range of complex ideas. These symbols form the starting point, but then mutate and transform into rich “assemblage” works incorporating fabric, wool, and wood in which formal and material considerations are given priority over direct symbolism.
