Ode to Braque (Daffys, Bergamot)
By Kasey Ott
Ceramic
12” x 12” x 8”
2025
Artist Statement:Right now, my work is driven by introspection. My studio practice asks a personal question, “What have I learned [about myself] [[this year]] ?” For me, this question matters more than any specific medium, material, or style. My artworks are carefully considered and at the same time, I’m drawn to creating an impact with just a few deliberate moves. For me, art making is a type of translation. My works are conversations in color and shape and I want them to hold space for questions, for contradictions, and connection.
Artist Bio: Kasey Ott b. 1991 (Washington DC)
Kasey is a multi-disciplinary artist who makes drawings, paintings, collage, murals, and ceramics. Kasey received her BFA from Syracuse University in 2014 and is currently an MFA Painting Candidate at Boston University.
“I've been working with clay a ton this summer and I revel in its stubbornness and its slowness. Much like tending to a garden, working in the ceramics studio takes trial-and-error, patience, and some unexpected luck. I engage hand-building techniques and for some of the forms, I could make and use molds, or the wheel, but the little irregularities and evidence of touch embed the work with a sweetness.”
