Kedrick McKenzie (MFA '23)

Kedrick McKenzie is a current Ceramics graduate student at Tyler who has been working with clay for over 10 years and loves making special objects to brighten up people's homes. McKenzie makes functional work inspired by modernism, bright colors, and the California sun (his home state). His brushes (above) are one-of-a-kind functional objects that are great for reliable use. They can sweep up crumbs, coffee grounds (even clean your coffee grinder), dirt from repotting plants, messes from crafting, hairs from shaving; or it can just be hung on your wall. There are endless uses!
