In John Byrd’s work, the autonomous decorative object and the perception of finely crafted skill are used to exhibit a persistent commitment to an idea or exploration. He is interested in assessing a coded hierarchy of materials that he associates with his rural upbringing and often applies skilled processes to either contradict or reinforce his understanding of them.
John Byrd received his BFA in Ceramics from Louisiana State University and his MFA in Ceramics from the University of Washington in 2000. His work has been shown in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad. |
