Kansas City, MO

Bowie Croisant’s earliest appreciation for form and function is the farm machinery he remembers seeing while growing up in rural southeast Kansas. The edges and planes of his geometric forms are intended for a soda firing's coats of color. He uses Computer Aided Drafting, or CAD software, to design forms for slip cast components that are assembled to shape his sculpture and functional ware. Croisant received a BFA from Kansas State University in ceramics and spent a year the Kansas City Art Institute as a special status student. His work is in multiple public and private collections including the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art. Croisant is an artist in residence at Red Star Studios.
