Detroit-native Steven Montgomery discusses the influence of damage, destruction, and the passage of time in his own works, and finds similar narratives in the works of Steven Young Lee and Peter Voulkos, and other artists in the collection.
Steven Young Lee blends Eastern and Western traditions with anachronistic, often playful imagery and striking pattern in his porcelain works. His process allows the clay forms to sink under their own weight in the kiln, creating dramatic “broken” silhouettes that can never be replicated. The resulting vessels embody equal parts mastery and chance, and reflect Lee’s own inquiries into the nature of perfection, the construction of identity and balancing tradition with personal expression.
Steven Young Lee’s artwork often considers his own experience navigating his Korean-American cross-cultural identity through the process of working in ceramics and building installations. In this talk, he discusses his work and the creative process that brought about his current APEX exhibition at the Museum.
This lecture was recorded on February 24, 2019 in Portland Art Museum's Whitsell Auditorium

During Patti Warashina's long and celebrated career, her ceramic figures and objects have blended realism with wit and satire. The body is almost always at the center of these narratives of the absurd, serving as a marker of the physical and psychological, of events both political and personal. Though her medium is ceramics, Patti brings an incredible artistic voice to the medium of glass.
