contemporary ceramic artist
taylor evans-kawchuk
Taylor Evans-Kawchuk is a ceramic artist living on lekwungen territory in Victoria, BC, Canada. Her work is interested in blurring the boundary between craft and contemporary art through sculptural, painterly stoneware vessels. Working intuitively through coil-building, her process is experienced as a form of meditation—dancing within the frame to bring forth asymmetrical pieces that play with themes of duality, nature, and the feminine form. Inspired by a lineage of women ceramicists and creators, her practice celebrates the domestic and handmade as sites of beauty and artistic interest. Through each vessel, Tay denotes beauty found in the everyday and the potential for craft to hold purpose and meaning beyond utility.
