The Everson is thrilled to announce Sam Chung as the featured artist for the 16th Annual Ceramic Arts Lecture!

Sam Chung is a Korean-American ceramic artist living in Phoenix, Arizona. He creates pottery that reframes historical ceramics from a cross-cultural perspective. Chung’s most recent work draws influence from Korean art and design, which has a long history of using clouds as a ubiquitous symbol. On a personal level, Chung is interested in how clouds represent a phenomenon that is constantly in flux. Their nature to morph and adapt is similar to the ways in which the artist relates to his own floating sense of identity. These cultural references serve as an anchor, pointing toward Chung’s own ethnic lineage, while also questioning the perception of belonging.
