Overview
“I aim to create objects that are seductive and draw in the viewer with their familiarity and then subvert assumptions through their content and materiality.”
A well-respected and established potter, Michael Eden completed an MPhil at the Royal College of Art in 2008, concentrating on the development of a new body of work that explored the abstract qualities of the container. Utilising and developing the combination of drawing, 3D software, traditional hand skills, and digital technology, his research brought together revolutionary tools and materials for the first time and the launch of his Wedgwoodn’t Tureen. Since then, Michael has continued to push digital technology further producing more complex and larger works whilst staying true to his original intention that each piece should be a unique object.
His dynamic, often humorous works are favoured by museums internationally and have recently been acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Museums Scotland and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, New York
