Artist Statement
I
am fascinated with antique artifacts, the way they can speak of mastery
of lost peoples, places, and cultures. This inspires me to create works
that both radiate history and capture my own place and time. I work
toward a clean aesthetic that celebrates the masterful simplicity of
antique Far Eastern pottery, while retaining the modest utility of
colonial American wares. The surface of my pottery is meticulously
carved with intricate designs that borrow from nature and incorporate
the human touch. Much of the carving on my work is informed by the
pattern languages found in indigenous fiber art, such as Hawaiian tapa,
Incan cordage and Zulu basketry.”
—Adam Field
