Hunter Smith
As a maker of objects, I believe that the variations and human irregularities of handmade things give them a renewed relevance in our post-industrial world. Working with clay allows me to engage my own fascination with tactility and form, while creating pieces that elevate spaces or confer a kind of ritual status onto otherwise mundane moments. In making vessels I am able to explore and reference a variety of ceramic histories and traditions; yet my work carries the imprint of my own hands.
