John Born

John Born is a New York based artist and the founder of Humble Matter since 2014. Humble Matter is based out of Wedge Ceramics, a membership studio and a wonderful community of ceramicists located on the reassuringly rough-and-tumble border between Clinton Hill and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The studio is powered by the talent, dedication, patience and good humor of John’s fellow makers Stephanie Gandelman, Beatrice Field and Rebecca Hsu. Humble Matter pieces use a vocabulary of repeated shapes in an attempt to create archetypal forms that feel like an inevitable part of this continuum.
