Will McComb

In an era of ever accelerating consumption, when our experiences are growing more ephemeral, solitary, and disposable I am committed to objects that feel solid in their physicality. As utilitarian objects I hope that they can bring a sense of humanity and expression to user’s daily rhythms. My pots grow from a formal balance of strength and grace, curve and angle,
stasis and movement. Built for daily life, but made to entice the eye and hand, they strive to be both sturdy and visceral. Through gestural mark-making, my works are imbued with an ever-present sense of touch, a trace of the human hand. Possessing a directional energy, gestural marks in the soft clay suggest change, movement, and excitement. These marks offer a reminder that another human has reached out through material to serve, support, and enrich your daily life.
