Summary
Blending the world of science fiction and functional art has allowed John Hamilton to find a voice in ceramics. Each Piece utilizes various elements of the ceramic process, employing trompe l'oeil to draw the viewer in closer, enticing them to touch and closely study each piece. The purpose is to create functional art that demands to be on the counter, table, or shelf opposed to the inside of a cabinet out of view.
