Benji Heu, a Missouri-based artist, will present an installation of ceramic sculpture in the Durbin Gallery at Birmingham-Southern College.

The public is invited to attend the gallery’s opening reception for the show from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6. The exhibition will remain on display through Nov. 25.

Heu’s work expresses a personal narrative with the most outlandish adventures accounted with an eye fixed on the bare essentials. Battles against time, against the obstacles that prevent the fulfillment of desire, or the repossession of something cherished but lost are themes that inspire him.

Heu is professor of ceramics at Southeast Missouri State University. He has an MFA from Ohio University and a BFA from the University of Montevallo. In between degrees, he studied at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
