Matt Merkel Hess's Bucketry at ACME

…is an artist and a potter interested in the environment (see his old ecoartblog) whom I originally met years ago when he inquired about taking some dirt from my garden to use in the making of plates – upon which he would later use for a dinner party along with plates made from dirt from a lot of other people’s gardens – and last night he made my hike to the LA’s West-ish Side worth it, to see his show ‘Bucketry‘ at ACME Gallery of common plastic receptacles in the form of fabulously glazed ceramics.
