Sculptor A.C. Rogers kicks off the Materials Lab's 2016-17 exhibition series with Soft Ground, which explores the poetic potential of objects. Rogers proposes a world that privileges the tacit, the inarticulate, or meaning which exists before language. Rogers' process is "rooted in the boundary between hand and material." 

Soft Ground was recently covered in The Daily Texan. Read it here.
