“The perforated work in part grew out of the fact that except for translucent porcelain, clay is generally dense, opaque and absolutely ruled by gravity. I think because of that, or inspired by that, I wanted to make objects from clay wherein material was replaced by light so as to make ethereal forms that might seem to hover. It was all driven by a disagreement, or argument if you like, about the very nature of the material and what might be possible." Today on Maake we talk with Southern CA-based artist Tony Marsh @tonymarshceramicarts about his long career starting with his time as an apprentice with National Living Treasure Tastuzo Shimaoka in Japan, his current rigorous practice, his vision as an educator, and so much more.
