Matthew Ward
Ceramicist Matthew Ward talks about his favorite objects, his first time working with clay, and the priorities of pattern and form.
There are times when I have a very specific pattern in mind and develop the form for pattern, knowing that the design is already resolved. In a less dictated way, I make a collection of forms and let them guide me as to what pattern is going to best suited on them.
About the Artist
Matthew Ward (b.1976) approaches pottery through a multi-disciplinary lens. Trained as a painter, he brings techniques traditionally reserved for two dimensional work into the realm of ceramics, incorporating techniques such as stamping and incising, as well as art historical concepts from the mid-20th century and postwar art. Ward is based in Santa Fe, NM and has been featured in publications such as Metropolis and Dwell.
