Bio:

​

Alex Carros is a multidisciplinary artist with a current focus on ceramics and photography. Although he has no formal education in the arts, he has maintained lifelong independent study of many mediums. After taking his first pottery class in the Autumn of 2021 he couldn’t help but chase the thread. He currently serves as apprentice at Wooten Clayworks in Hackettstown, NJ where he resides with his wife and daughter.

Statement:

​

“My work consists of wheel thrown forms, hand built elements, nerikomi, mishima, and piercing. Pulling primary influence from ritual, world mysticism, soft abstract composition, and brutalist architecture I aim to amalgamate these themes into forms that feel found but hold reverence. I like for the pots I make to feel as if they have had a life of their own long before they met your hand - and now lend themselves to you to integrate your story.”
