James Aarons owns a one-person studio specializing in hand-made ceramic art pieces for hospitality, health care, corporate and residential spaces. Most work is created for site specific placement by art consultants, designers and architects. Repertory includes custom designed Dot Compositions in a broad range of colors, textures and styles; ceramic paintings, prints and drawings; and one-of-a-kind objects produced in collaboration with designers and art consultants.
In addition to wall pieces, I make a series of one of a kind lamps in partnership with Mark Taylor, a collage artist.
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"Most of my work is designed for a specific space. The installation is the final component and its completion brings the piece to life."
