About:

Jesse Albrecht's exhibition titled "Vessels of War and Recovery" is comprised of 10 large pieces of wheel-thrown pottery. These are painted with underglaze and stamped with artifacts worn and carried by him, while deployed in Iraq. This work takes an unflinching and humorous look at his autobiographical journey to war and the long, hard, way home.
