Brian Guerin is an artist and archivist living in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Using clay, stone, and found materials, his works explore natural occurrence, touch, and the perception of forms.
Having studied a breadth of ceramic disciplines, Guerin’s approach is informed by elements from Song Dynasty, Shigaraki, and Ancestral Pueblan ceramic traditions. His work engages craft techniques to dissuade evidence of human interference, instead employing them to mirror natural processes. In using porcelain and volcanic temperatures to create rocks, or carving stone to resemble softer ephemeral bodies, Guerin blurs the line between the figurative and the geological.
Guerin holds a Bachelor’s degree from Sarah Lawrence College and is currently an MFA candidate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
