“My pieces are often a conglomeration of unrelated ideas that somehow just seem to work together. I try to think about a series of disjointed or unconnected things and place them in new relationships to each other. I have a tendency to pick and choose my cultural references at will. Exercising unrestrained disregard for tradition or convention gives me the ability to process new ideas rapidly. My background in video and web production provides me with an idiosyncratic perspective for approaching my art and subject matter. One does not often associate digital media with ceramics. I also observe how graphic designers apply their designs to various objects. This gives me additional insight for approaching a 3-D form.” Max Lehman
