"I’m interested in the filters and memories we acquire throughout our lives that shape us, and the way these things manifest physically. The figures in my work have become enveloped landscapes that oscillate between a spectrum of feelings. Some places reverberate with strange and unknown dangers while others are shielded with comfort—both simultaneously deteriorating and regenerating before our eyes.” Today on Maake we talk with Brooklyn-based artist Kate Klingbeil @k8klingbeil about the body as a landscape, the magic of clay, the micro at the macro, and viewing both at the same time, and so much more!

"Clay objects have always been such a revealing part of humans’ archeological record. It is an enduring medium. I like that sturdy sense of permanence and history that comes with a clay vessel. The contrast of the flowers, their rich pigmentation and lifespan makes the whole scene feel fleeting. The flowers’ impermanence also ensures that the vessels themselves will be touched, used and reconsidered regularly.” Today on Maake we talk with Brooklyn-based artist Emily Mullin @emulli about incoprorating living floral arangments in her work, how costuming and embellishments inform her vessels, growing up with ‘play’ as an important way to spend time, and lots more. Full interview online, link in profile.

“I was first introduced to Maiolica in school and loved the process. I went on to study with Walter Ostrom at The Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and that's where I really got deep into the history and process of making tin-glazed earthenware.” Today on Maake we talk with artist Lindsay Montgomery @lindsay_s_montgomery about her work, process, and lots more!

“Clay is unmediated material, and I can form the material directly. That’s very important for me. The form I make is a kind of conversation between me and clay.” Today on Maake we talk with artist En Iwamura @eniwamura about his work, process, and lots more.

“If the clay is a person, the glaze would be the personality of that person. I think of making a piece from thinking the persona of the glaze, and the playground is where the glaze performs its own act and show its character (runny, crackle, shiny, drippy, crawling, grippy ). It is fun to imagine myself as theater director; I designed the stage to allow each of my actor/glaze to perform the best of their character.” Today on Maake we talk with artist Ling Chun @whoisherry about being a beauty school dropout, loving metaphor, and her first interactions with clay, and lots more.

"Freeing myself from limiting to clay/ceramics and being open to other new materials really helped me develop the group of work. I feel like I am learning new language and it has been really exciting. When I worked with metal, I felt like I knew nothing, and I felt insecure but excited simultaneously. I like challenges and new discoveries. New discoveries usually tell me where to go next." Today on Maake we talk with Chicago-based artist Mie Kongo @miekongo about her work and process, growing up in a buddhist temple,  the influence of a family of creators, working with a range of materials, and teaching provides balance to her studio practice, and so much more.

"A recurring theme in my work has been the use of familial material, like my grandfather’s drawings. I enjoying working with material like this because I can’t doubt its significance. It’s material that I resonate with on an emotional level that gets the work started, and getting the work started is the hardest part.” Today on Maake we talk with Queens-based artist Trevor King @trevorkingart about his work and process, how objects can address and affect the rituals of our lives, the empathy and sensitivity inherent in building objects used by others, and so much more.

"One of the main reasons I became interested in making vessels again was to reconnect myself with history. It’s pretty humbling to contemplate your own brief life in the timeline of existence.” Today on Maake we talk with Michigan-based artist Laith Karmo @laith_karmo about his work and process, how craftsmanship is no longer a requirement but an aesthetic choice, subverting the function of vessels to push the viewer to understand the works as conceptual objects, mortality, and lots more.
