"I typically use the computer to generate a paper blueprint or floorpan and then systematically construct the sculpture from small extruded pieces of porcelain. Much like building something from popsicle sticks or toothpicks. I want the work to reflect the fact that they are assembled over time. This commitment of time and labor then provides a level of honesty to the poetry that hopefully exists in their eventual distortion and collapse.” Today on Maake we talk with Kent, Ohio-based artist Peter Christian Johnson @peterchristianjohnson about his work, studio practice, and process, the transition from pre-med to a career in art, and learning as much as possible about farming.
