Artist spotlight: Ryan Myers


Ryan Myers is a ceramic artist living in Madison, Wisconsin [with his studio in Fitchburg].



Artist statement [Excerpted from http://www.ryanmyersceramics.com/about/]

I was raised on cartoons and comic books, superheroes and villains. I grew up around Native American artifacts and American antiques. I learned to appreciate the intimate qualities of aged objects: the textures of rusty iron and crawling paint on old furniture, and even the musty smell of ripened books and magazines. Things that come with embedded narrative and a worn history have always surrounded me, and therefore, influence me. I am attracted to nostalgia and drawn to the curious — to something unusual but familiar — to something that creates a linkage across time.
