They are masters of technical matters yet offer startling, original visions. Mr. Pagen, who has taught at Reed College since 1979, is an artist whose work exists somewhere between ceramics, sculpture and painting. He is tough to define as he works with panels of clay that are textured and glazed then wall-mounted, removing them from the free-standing world of conventional ceramic art. His painterly approach shows the influence of the Abstract Expressionists.
