Daisy Hutt's Projects

BFA Student

Major: Ceramics

Graduation Year: 2021

Artist Statement:

My earthenware ceramic pottery is made with fluidity and an interest in intuitive building and surfacing. I like to explore throwing and altering as well as coil and slab building within my studio work, as my intentions are to create energetic and expressive pieces that are able to
communicate my personal connections with my environments and experiences.
Much of my recent work has been inspired by my deep rooted connection to the land and landscapes of my childhood. My memories may be weakened and abstracted as I age, but these
materialized reflections of my mind’s eye view of the joyful and beautiful places that I know carry their own powerful expression and create engaging surfaces on all my forms.

Biography:

Daisy Hutt is a young potter, born and raised in rural Vermont. Growing up in a family of artists and craftspeople, Hutt was inspired to create very early on. She has graduated Maine College of Art with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics, in the spring of 2021. Hutt’s thrown and hand built pieces are influenced by her relationships to familiar environments and act as expressive communications of her herself, her home, and family. She uses her experience and technique to create functional work but often allows for a more gestural and intuitive movement of form and surface. She has slowly been building her own unique process of throwing, altering, applying slip and responding to it with carved marks. She believes that the beauty of final form is just as radiant as each small action in the artist’s practice.
