"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. Full interview online, link in profile. Questions by Andreana Donahue.
