AA2A Resident Artist

Michael Cassidy

Schemes:

I'm obsessed with the idea that everything we make has a story about how it was made. I try to make things that somehow perform the narrative of how they were made. That's why I love ceramics, because clay is a material that records touch, takes imprints and responds to forces.

Clay is effected by time and gravity and it takes a reaction almost as hot as the sun, to freeze it in time.

I'm interested in the way that I can record imprints or 'indexes' of things in the world around me and turn them to stone. A lot of my work has involved recording textures from the spaces that I inhabit and reordering them to find new meaning.
