Description
Alex Matisse (MA/NC, b.1984) East Fork Pottery, Two Vases
wood fired, mixed glazes, both ovoid forms one with a tall cylindrical neck, both decorated with trailing white slip floral forms, both have the potter's signature glyph on the undersides.
Taller 13 in.
Great-grandson of Henri Mattise, pottery artist Alex Maisse, is the co-founder of East Fork Pottery located in Madison County.
Alex apprenticed in the workshops of North Carolina potters Matt Jones and Mark Hewitt. In their workshops Alex gained an appreciation for the traditions of the Anglo-Oriental school of Leach, Hamada, and Cardew to the folk pottery of the south-eastern United States and many places between.
Alex describes his own work as “a fusion of pre-industrial country traditions in both process and material. It is fired in a large wood burning kiln and made of as many local materials as the chemistry will allow, while still affording me the physical attributes necessary for my aesthetic decisions.”
