Maxwell Mustardo’s ceramic works evoke ancient amphorae, kraters, and kylix, but their surfaces feel distinctly organic — fungal and lichen-esque growths in fluorescent oranges, pinks, and greens that appear to glow even in the most mundane settings. The Pennsylvania-based artist constantly tweaks his chemistry to push surface effects that feel grown rather than applied, blurring the line between cultural and natural form. Source: This Is Colossal
