Brangien Davis journeys across the state to Pullman, Washington, to meet ceramicist and art professor Io Palmer, whose complex "hedgerows" take the form of vividly colored thickets made from multiple individual clay forms. Hung on walls in clusters, Palmer’s vibrant sculpture feels almost alive as it challenges perceptions of domestic spaces, who is welcome where and societal excess.
