Abstract
Bare&s sculptures are a critique on the wastefulness of American consumerism.He collects unwanted pottery from thrift stores, landfills and abandoned kiln sites and assembles them into stacks that often seem posed on the brink of collapse.Highlighting the uniformity of mass produced goods, Bare stacks similar items together making it seem as though they are replicating of their own accord.Other forms are more organic, resembling marine landscapes or waves of discarded consumer goods poised to overwhelm the viewer.He creates his sculptures by stacking the mugs, plates and bowls in a saggar container inside the kiln, often securing precarious forms with nichrome wire.He drips casting slip and glazes overtop, squirting or "glopping" glazes by hand, spatula or glaze bulb a tool similar to a turkey baster.This added glaze and the liquid clay work in tandem with the glaze on the collected pottery to fuse it into a finished sculpture.Bare&s practice in clay and professional experience includes international and national artist residencies at acclaimed programs in China, Japan, Canada and the United States.His ceramic work is featured in Glaze: The Ultimate Collection of Ceramic Glazes and How They Were Made (2014), as well as 500 Ceramic Sculptures (2009), 500 Teapots Part I & II (2002; 2013).He exhibits and presents public lectures about his work at Beijing Fine Art Academy in China, the Michigan Ceramic Art Association, the National Council for Education in the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conferences and many universities and art centers in the US and abroad.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
