About
Mackenzie Pikaart, is a clay artist who’s practice explores relationships between her past selves and present memory, form and erosion, texture and color. Her work takes shape in functional objects for the home where each object holds these relationships. By using somewhat playful shapes and colors. She creates a mirage where the viewer may only focus on the immediate attraction, but with deeper investigation the voice of loneliness speaks loudly.
She is inspired by architecture, poetry, instrumental music, and rainy days. In all of these the tension of togetherness and being alone create beauty in the in between. Pikaart searches her memory for times of peace, self love, others acceptance, and through that search reveals uneasy moments, times she wishes to forget, but also moments of joy, love and a depth of personal understanding.
Her works are meant for daily use, a reminder of living through all that life is.
Mackenzie received her BFA in Crafts/ Ceramics from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia where she currently lives and works
