Inside/Outside the Artist’s Studio: Mitch Iburg
Using crushed ceramic shards, excess sand, and fragments of stone removed from foraged clays during preparation, Iburg most recent series of paintings combine an initiative to reclaim waste within his studio practice with an interest in showcasing the intrinsic beauty of the region’s mineral resources.
Throughout the year, waste materials are meticulously collected and processed by washing, color sorting, and crushing to various sizes to create coarse gravel-like pigments. Mixed with colorless binders and applied on wooden substrates, each painting functions as a gradient of mineralogy, materiality, and time: a record of the landscape’s history and Iburg’s experience within it.
‘Talus’, Minnesota-based ceramic artist Mitch Iburg’s fourth solo exhibition at Hugomento. On view now through October 18.
