I remember Larissa FastHorse said “The Thanksgiving Play,” with its all-white Broadway cast, was a response to what she had been told about who was castable.

He created his own glazes and a formula for castable refractory, a clay compound similar to concrete that withstands high-fire temperatures, to achieve a rugged, organic texture that mimics the volcanic rock found near his grandparents’ ranch in Guadalajara, Mexico.

These unique landscapes would inspire the “Sacred Places” series, where watery glaze shines in contrast to stony, hand-molded castable refractory, which peaks like an island rising from the sea.

Back then, as Park recalled in a recent "Salon Talks" conversation, the Japanese American artist was told that his story of youth, love and friendship "wasn't castable."

At the time, back in '07, he was told that it wasn't castable and they asked him if he'd be open to changing some of the characters.
