His work was included in many solo exhibitions, as well as hundreds of invitationals and numerous museum collec­ tions around the world. Jolyon was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in April 2003. He was still teaching at Queens College, City University of New York, where he was a full professor and had taught for 37 years. He completed the term and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment that summer, then major surgery in December 2003. But the cancer re­ turned. He went through everything with an incredibly positive upbeat spirit, and was actively pursuing his life and his art until the very end. He died October 12, 2004. In October 2003, he had what would turn out to be his last show while he was alive at the Watermark Cargo Gallery in Kingston, New York. It was a major show of ceramic and bamboo pieces. The clay and bamboo had grown into a grant-funded project where ceramic forms were placed in a bamboo plantation in Alabama. As the bamboo grew through the ceramic forms, it became a naturally integrated part of the pieces. The first part of this project was documented in the video Clay and Bamboo! Incorporated by Growth, which we com­ pleted in 2002. While he loved creating, and continued his own work right up until his death, he was as much involved with promoting the careers of younger artists and friends, giving freely of his knowledge, friendship and support to those around him. A few hours before his death, when he knew he was dying, he called about 15 of his closest friends to say goodbye and tell them how much he cared about them and how special they were.

  • David Shaner – (1934 – 2002) Artist's Statement – David
    DAVID SHANER – (1934 – 2002) David Shaner is an icon in the field of American ceramic art. He was instrumental in establishing the Archie Bray Foundation as a major player in ceramics, and he continued to support the Bray after retiring as its Resident Director. His exquisitely formed vessels with their understated glazes are a reflection of the man himself, a man in harmony with his environment and at peace in himself. Shaner was also noted as a teacher, a collector, and a generous contributor to the world of ceramic art and the field of environmental protection; his gardens which he called his “spiritual work” included notable specialized collections. While David Shaner’s life was cut short by ALS, his legacy continues through the David and Ann Shaner Resident Studio Complex which opened in 2005 at the Archie Bray foundation. ARTIST’S STATEMENT – DAVID SHANER “Basically, I am doing what I want to do and have never done anything else. By competing only with myself, I am not in pursuit of the crowd. Following one’s work is a joy and a challenge. One learns to do what is in one’s soul – thus revealing the connections between life and art. Although over the years I have become deeply involved with my tools and materials, simplicity of form and process have been my greatest achievements. And while the pots have been saturated with optimism, this has not always been easy to achieve. It is with a certain resilience I carry the belief that as life is enriched, the work can answer a resounding YES!”1 1.

Albero folgorato (Thunderstuck Tree), 2012, is the culmination of this series. Cast in bronze from a willow that had been struck by lightning, it both captures a moment in time and stands fixed as a profoundly evocative and timeless monument.
