Jeremy Anderson with his Piccolos. Totes adorbs.New York City-based ceramic artist and one half of APPARATUS, Jeremy Anderson opens a virtual viewing room of his debut show Piccolo Parade. Inside his world, we are invited to immerse ourselves in 34 unique vessels which Anderson refers to as “Piccolos” – a collection of anthropomorphic creatures hand-assembled from wheel-thrown elements. “In this moment, as we all isolate for the collective well-being, it feels particularly important to share my work which was inspired by a desire to create community,” says Jeremy. These piccolos are my friends and have long kept me company. In that same spirit, I’d like to share them with you. In their idiosyncrasies and relationships, I hope you see the things that make us all human, as I do.”
With each piece of work, the forms arise organically from the clay, built from the ground up allowing each character to grow into itself. Anderson describes the small circular openings as the point of origin for each piece’s individual personality. He then hand paints a series of lines emanating from this opening, mapping the varied contours of each piece to reveal patterns that are as unique as the human characteristics he sees emerge from them, much like our own fingerprints. For the artist, the hours spent painting these reverberating lines becomes a meditative practice shared with his playmates, a growing community gazing skyward. Presented by APPARATUS, join us as we journey inside the story of Anderson’s creations, from their inspired origins through his personal process of bringing the work to life. - 转载自：Yellowtrace
