"The edge of the form is the profile line. And how we distinguish the foreground and the background is what I play with all the time."
Greg Payce
Alive with history, movement, and possibility, Greg Payce’s vessels become animated before our eyes. Processions of figures emerge from negative space, projections of vibrant patterns dance across porcelain surfaces, holographic-like photos pulse with dimension. Running through all of his work is a hommage to the craft masters of past eras.
For over 45 years, Greg Payce has been shaping his experiences and passions at the potter’s wheel. He pulls from design, film, photography, philosophy, history – all while reinforcing his connection to fellow potters through the ages. He has been passing on this connection to the countless students he has influenced over his years as an instructor in the ceramics program at the Alberta College of Art and Design. His work is in many collections across the country.
