Recognizing that ceramic vessels have a rich history rooted in both utilitarian objects and the decorative arts, I aim to create installations that challenge the static nature of ceramic vessels and invite playful rearrangement. By using a combination of freehanded design work, together with mass production methods, my practice reflects the struggle between the fascination for the handmade and the appeal of the mass-produced.

Emily Verdoorn
Drawings

Emily Verdoorn has lived most of her life in Des Moines, Iowa.  For as long as she can remember, she has enjoyed drawing and making things.  At first, it was simply unselfconscious enjoyment that encouraged her to make.  Gradually she discovered drawing as a means to more deeply engage with the world around her.  For Emily, drawing forms a vital relationship with the world of her everyday experience.  Her drawings develop in response to time spent observing places and things – their habits, personality, rituals, and the people that frequent them.  Emily loves discovering the mundane glory in the commonplace.
