Matthew Patton creates high fire stoneware and porcelain
plates,
bowls, tiles, and platters. His works combine abstract forms, vivid color,
and unique glazes into vivacious works of art. His glass glazes bead up
like paint from a tube, or raindrops on a leaf. Other glazes fill recesses in
the surface with translucent crackle glass. Matthew creates
his designs with the skill of a graphic designer, and the freedom of an abstract
expressionist. Colors splash, drip, pool, and run across the surface, and
combine into striking compositions. Although he creates multiple works
with the same design, each piece is unique, with the final result dependant on
the subtle differences in the application of glazes, and unpredictable effects
from firing. His designs are constantly evolving, and each new edition
sparks fresh ideas that lead into the next. Matthew's plates and platters
are wired for hanging, and can be displayed on the wall or a flat surface.
