| Harmony Installed at CAM
Harmony by local artist Hiroshi Sueyoshi was installed on CAM's campus last week. This 17-foot poly-chromed steel structure was made by Sueyoshi in 2000 as part of the Forum Sculpture Competition and was unveiled to the public October 26, 2000.
Hiroshi Sueyoshi was born in Ishikawa, Japan, in 1946. In 1971, he came to Asheboro, NC, to help design and build Humble Mill Pottery. In 1978, he moved to Wilmington, where he taught at Cape Fear Community College for more than 20 years. During this time he also sold and exhibited his work nationally and internationally. From 2006-2015, he was the artist-in-residence at Cameron Art Museum, where he led ceramics workshops, classes, and demonstrations and was a beloved member of CAM's staff. |
