JONATHAN CROSS
Jonathan Cross is an American ceramicist that works out of his studio in the High Desert in California. He is known for his use of ancient wood-firing technique - his singular, imposing work spans sculptures, furniture, and vessels. Cross was immediately drawn to the ancient process of wood-firing, which gives each piece a patina that evokes ancient artifacts, old stone structures or discarded post-apocalyptic future relics. His vessels suggest simple minimalism at the same time referencing the landscapes and the earth of this surroundings. Each sculptural work is entirely unique and when in the presence of them can feel the physicality of Cross's hand within the carvings and handbill sculptures.
