David Best, born in 1945, studied painting, ceramics, and sculpture at the San Francisco Art Institute in the mid 1970s. Best would become more recognized for his work in creating temporary structures for the annual artists' festival, "Burning Man", and his "Temples". However, he has an extensive work and exhibition history rooted in the San Francisco Bay Area, with particular focus on his ceramic and found-object sculpture. Many of Best's early sculptural works mediate on other-worldly beings, creatures whose bodies and faces resemble a menagerie of species.
