Featuring new ceramic work by Edna Creelman ’23, the VCAM exhibition The Art of Sociology: The Utility of Understanding the Academic Through Ceramic Plate Ware provides a unique perspective on sociologists and philosophers the artist has encountered during her time as a sociology major and philosophy minor at Haverford College. Short biographies and excerpted favorite works accompany the portraits, helping to humanize the academics behind many important sociological and philosophical works. In this way, the mode of presentation allows the audience to appreciate the artist’s own background as both a ceramicist and student of sociology and philosophy. As Creelman notes, “In many ways, sociology is an art itself, with each artist endeavoring to paint us a picture of the world in which we function…some paintings more appealing or accurate than others.”

Supported by the Hurford Center for the Arts and Humanities’ Student Arts Fund and VCAM’s Malcolm Baldwin 1962 Fund.
