“Slow:Steady” by Sam Chumley

Description

My work intersects a variety of techniques in ceramics and printmaking to create functional pots. For me, the functional crafted object that exists in the home or in the daily life of the user creates an experience that is drastically different than high art, which traditionally exists in a sterile gallery setting. This subversion is paralleled in the imagery that I use on the surface of my pots which draws influence from American traditional tattoo culture. A culture which has historically existed outside the walls of academia and social acceptance. And it is by these influences and function I wish for my work to be bold and antithetical to mainstream systems of thinking and living.
