Brooklyn-based sculptor and jeweler Darcy Miro crafted this white
bronze and copper mirror to be part of a grouping. The Rhode
Island School of Design graduate frequently uses silver, gold, and
bronze in her nature-inspired metal sculptures. Though striking as
a stand-alone piece, Traci Finch of Emily Summers Studio 54
recommends mixing a few together: “Her vision for them is the
way we have it on our floor.” Even still, Finch has sold a few
individually because “people wanted them as little pieces of art.”
GET IT: Find this tiny looking glass ($5,850) and more pieces from the collection
at Emily Summers Studio 54 in Highland Park Village.

MIX MASTER
TIME TRAVELER
British artist Gareth Mason says
his artwork is meant to represent “a
small cosmic explosion.” This piece,
created in 2011, mixes porcelain,
feldspar, glazes, oxide, and lustre.
Man for the Ages
Netherlands-based artist
Olivier van Herpt uses 3-D printing
to create his ceramics, despite their
practically biblical aesthetic.
Dallas-based artist
Rachel Muldez was
born in New Mexico,
so she blends the
landscape of her two
home states in her work,
and the results are obvious—admirers of her
pieces can almost feel
the soil in her finished
products. As a student,
she earned two degrees
from Baylor University,
studying ceramics
under Paul McCoy
and Nick DeVries. She
then received a second
master’s degree in art
from the University of
Dallas, where she is now
working on her terminal
degree. An adjunct
professor at Richland
College, she lists simple
items from nature such
as rocks, flowers, seeds,
and leaves as daily
sources of inspiration
for her work. Find her
pieces at The Mews
on Market Center
Boulevard.
NONCONFORMIST
Brian Molanphy is an assistant professor of art at SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts.
A Fulbright grant recipient who studied in France, he says “flux, endurance, transgression, and
history” influence his ceramic pieces. Catch his “Business, Cleverly Disguised as Pleasure” exhibit
on weekdays through August 26 at the University of Dallas’ Beatrice M. Haggerty Gallery.
Artist Brenda Holzke says her “goal
is to lose control” when working
with clay. She embraces imperfections while layering different
materials—a process she likes to call
“organized chaos.”
