Thaddeus Erdahl & Stephanie Stuefer Opening Reception
Campus Gate Art Gallery 1 College StThaddeus Erdahl and Stephanie Stuefer met while pursuing their MFA degrees at the University of Florida. Thaddeus is currently a devoted studio artist, teaching workshops across the country, and showing work nationally and internationally. Deeply inspired by his father's art, Thaddeus’ work speaks of the interconnectedness of past and present and the beauty found in the passage of time. It captures erosion and growth in a single piece, inviting viewers to contemplate the enigmatic nature of life itself. Stephanie has worked with clay as both a sculptural medium and utilitarian material. Her current utilitarian body of work was originally designed for her husband’s coffee roasting venture, Zagg’s Coffee. The “zig zag” lines of the mug forms set into motion a broader body of work for this show.
