Alex Olson Arts LLC |

Through mark making and imprinting using found natural objects such as shells and stones, Alex carves out a narrative of the natural world and the hand-created. Each piece is first wheel thrown, then faceted by carving, after which imprints of the natural world are layered upon the clay's surface, and slowly wood-fired. This creative endeavor brings the experience of the natural world to our homes and intimate lives. Alex Olson has a creative practice in Brooklyn, New York.

“My artwork is driven by my curiosity about the rhythms of the natural world and the intersections of landscape and the home. I am drawn to clay’s malleability and craft functional forms that people can integrate into their daily routines and rituals. Each pot is first thrown on the wheel, faceted, and textured using found objects such as shells and stones. In my work, I explore concepts of mark-making and imprinting through both process and form: found objects from the landscape make physical marks in the clay, leaving imprints of place on my pottery. Atmospheric firing methods such as woodfiring add complexity to the faceted surfaces, creating gradients of color and texture that mimic patterns in nature; I also use this effect to reference the cycles and transitions of the natural world. More broadly, while crafting my work I consider how experiences in nature stay with us in transformative ways—and how we hold on to those experiences by bringing elements of the natural world into our homes.”
