Sally Resnik Rockriver

Sally Resnik Rockriver uses science as a medium to create self-forming geochemical phenomena. Rockriver grows calcite cave-drip, zinc silicate crystals, and geode rock formations on clay. She also applies her ceramic glazes to hot blown glass. These pieces of her research, "geochemical artifacts", are assembled into larger sculptures. Her work has been published in several international ceramics books and is exhibited nationally and locally.
Her vision for her work and the school, Resnik Thermal Lab, has been to focus on the fusion of art and science, enhancing the historical development of both disciplines. In a review of her 2002 Solo Show, Roberta Smith of the New York Times says Rockriver "is an artist fearlessly and forcefully pushing a medium or two in new directions."
