About

Why this artist matters now

Andrew Lord creates ceramics and drawings that embed material experience with memory and sensory association. Working across sculptural forms, his practice draws on painting, poetry, the natural world, and urban observation to construct objects that function as repositories of lived experience. Based in New York, Lord treats ceramic material and line as vehicles for embodying the particularity of place and time rather than abstraction.
