Industrial ceramics – Object Factory
If you know my functional work then you’ll know that I’m really interested in the relationship between the handmade and industrial ceramics. I try with my work to bridge the “gap” that exists, in our relationship to, interaction with and the design possibilities of both the handmade and the industrial.
So I’m super excited to see a show such as Object Factory: The Art of Industrial Ceramics (currently at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York) online with lots of yummy pictures to inspire. There’s an amazing list of artist/designers in the show, too many to name, but it was curated by Mark Cecula so you know it’ll be good. So take some time, grab a cup of tea and check it out here.
