Collection: Matt Wilt

"In making functional pottery, I try to treat each piece as a condensed sculpture. The formal combinations of line, mass, balance, skin, volume, and proportion allow for an infinite number of conclusions. When working with these variables, my goal is to find a composition that has a strong visual presence and emotive impact on the user. Sculptor Joseph Cornell said "Tiny is the last refuge of the enormous", and I believe functional pots have the same potential for impact. Ultimately, whether a pot is being held in someone's hands or is sitting on a shelf, I would like its presence to be felt." Matt is currently based in Saratoga Springs, NY.
