This is the centerpiece of the exhibit, a hand-made face scuplture of the infamous poet, Edgar Allan Poe.
This is the coffin made by the artist, Evelyn Davis, to represent Edgar Allan Poe's headstone in a creative customizable way.
Poe has his own hand-made ceramic coffin shown through photographic evidence.

Sometimes, all a writer need is a notebook. In this case, the artist had a collection of four small notebooks to start drafting complex words into poetry.
"Because I could not stop for death" is a poem by the artist favorite poet, Emily Dickinson. Davis wanted to create her own interpretation of the poem in a artistic zoetrope form and tell a narrative of the poem's speaker's journey.
How often to do you discover something new? The unusal symbols and markings of a new culture breathe life into any artist. Inquiry and curiousity is all that's required.
Artistic confusion anyone? Whom do I want to be today? A romantic, a poet, or a well-dressed man.
Everyone loves vampires since the release of the Twilight Saga movies, but the artist had her own personal obession with the paranormal fantasy genre.
An image of a broken, bleeding heart while still hoping for love through a black rose
The love for vampires run deep within this exhibit. These notebooks hold the earliest beginnings of poetry for the artist, Evelyn Davis.
Speaking of artistic expression, the artist tired her hand at drawing 2-D art like sketches and protraits but once again, fell victim to writing poetry alongside the lines.
Alongside of writing poetry, the artist created some fantasy-style ceramic artworks in a cermaic/scuplture class.
Peek-a-boo, a lonely fairy sits beside the door, awaiting a new friend to show up in her deserted world.
The artist wanted to showcase her artistic freedoms in one special place, her bedroom. This ceramic piece is a draft of how the artist would have decorated her room if not for her restrict upbringing.
Around the time frame of 2009-2010, the artist only loved five things in particular: funky jewelry, reading, converse shoes, singing, and writing (any style and/or genre (she loves a challenge).
Christmas time is the best time of the year, and its the artists' birthdate. Davis knew she wanted to re-create a childhood memory in this ceramic piece.

I've always loved him, but he doesn't understand me.
Holding onto hope.
It is very peculiar for someone to re-create a tree like this one, but the artist had an idea in mind to create a new world. The only thing is that this world can only be entered through the fairy's door in the center of a graveyard. Tim Burton style.
Before you leave, everyone enjoys their milk and cookies. I promise you won't grow or shrink down, like the other kids.
"We're all mad here" is the name of this piece. Oh, traveler, be careful from whom you partake from in this wonderful land.
Just like Carrie Bradshaw feel in love with Paris, we're all hoping to share that same magic in a tea cup.
