“The proverbial student,” Matt Amante proudly declares. Despite his professor moniker at Pitt Community College in Winterville, North Carolina, Amante insists, he is no different than the very students he instructs. “Might I have more experience than them? Sure, yes; but I’m still a student. I don’t stop learning. I don’t think anyone should ever be completely through learning – not as artists, not as human beings. I would hope we share a yearning to constantly evolve,” he says. “That is the principle behind this piece, SCBS #9 – the second in the series I am bringing to Mississippi this year. It’s self-study challenge to only design with the circular forms and the river rocks.”
