395: Greg Payce on harnessing the negative space between objects to create images

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Greg Payce. He often creates images that reference the human figure by shaping the negative space between his ceramic vessels. In our interview we talk about the remediation of objects into images, techniques for throwing large precise vessels, and how lighting can accentuate the illusions in his work. For more information follow Greg on IG at @gregpayce.
