Casey Whittier will present an artist talk from 4–5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21 in McKnight Art Center, Room 210. A reception with the artist will follow from 5–6 p.m. Whittier's exhibition "For Desires that We Wish To Name" is on view in the Clayton Staples Gallery through March 2. Her intricate ceramic works investigate the fine line between the need to preserve and the need to re-imagine, re-configure and re-contextualize the world around her. Whittier teaches ceramics social practice at the Kansas City Art Institute.

The Clayton Staples Gallery is funded in part by the Wichita State Student Government Association.
