A graduate of the MFA program in ceramics at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Detroit-based artist Hayden Richer’s works focus on the preservation of weight and mass, and their sculptural convergence into furniture. Her Sand Spackle Side Table, built using slab-building methods out of clay, fired, and coated in Hydrocal, is finished and frozen along its lifespan by the sand and hydrocal mixture. The surface application freezes the form’s development into a calcified land-like marker as a solidified part of the domestic landscape it resides in.
