DAVID EICHELBERGER •   FLOYD, VA

David Eichelberger is currently a Visiting Faculty member at Bennington College (VT), and was a Professor of Art for three years at Marlboro College (VT). He operates TWO-ONE Ceramics in Brattleboro, VT, with his wife, Elisa DiFeo, a prototyping, mold-making, and ceramic production operation.

David received his MFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (2010), and was a Resident Artist at the Penland School of Crafts (NC, 2011-2014) and the Appalachian Center for Craft (TN, 2010-2011). David was awarded an International Residency Grant from NCECA in 2010, to work at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia, and was an Associate Demonstrating Artist at the 2015 NCECA conference. He exhibits his work nationally, and part of the time he teaches full-time, and sometimes he works in his part-time studio all of the time.

“The objects I make exhibit a compositional preference for repetition over variety, and I position repeated elements in regular, metered fashion. A rhythm develops, with a cadence that promotes a rambling exploration of the form. I am captivated by the dialog between simplicity and complexity, which is a concept I endeavor to reflect in my work.

My work is composed to create pause. The objects I make are equal parts anthropological study and artistic endeavor, and incorporate an attempt to understand the world we live in, through making.”
