The mechanism for my artistic research and technical explorations of form is centered on the formal qualities of tools in and around my studio. These objects and the physical actions involved in making are inherent to my artistic practice. I simplify or exaggerate elements of these objects as a formal investigation that is the direct physical transfer of cerebral and emotional reverence. The vertical
lines, surface and scale reinforce their stability in the space in which they occupy. Appearing as monoliths, the sculptures are designed to create a sense of quietness and singularity.
Tybre Newcomer received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics from Missouri State University and his Master of Fine Arts from the Rochester Institute of Technology-School for American Crafts where he studied Ceramic Sculpture and Furniture Design. He has taught at several institutions before joining Spokane Falls Community College in 2016. In addition to teaching, he maintains an active studio and has had work in several prominent exhibition spaces including the Bausch and Lomb World Headquarters Geisel Gallery, Mulvane Art Museum, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Marshall M Fredricks Sculpture Museum, Figge Art Museum, and Rochester Contemporary Arts Center (RoCo). His work is in numerous public and private collections including
Springfield Art Museum, Wichita Falls Museum of Art, Tainan National University of the Arts, Tainan, Taiwan, Central Michigan University, and Okaya City Park, Japan.
