Featured Artist: Grant Akiyama

Grant Akiyama is Shop 108 Featured Artist for the months of August and September 2022.
"My current work in ceramics, Poprocks, examines the geologic origins of clay and its innate forms and surfaces. I study and implement patterns of pedestrian soils, peculiar boulders, and crystalline aberrations. I focus these raw states of earth into vessels: cups, vases, and shot glasses, among others. Through manic colors and experimental surfaces, I aim to illustrate the mercurial and varied moods found beneath our feet. Poprocks synthesizes a sense of chthonian, earthen nature through a tangible lens of imaginable utility."
