Heather Mae’s research and work are at the forefront of a trend where both industry and design play roles in studio art practice. She is exploring the possibility of changing the way we treat the vital ritual of dining by designing functional tableware. She finds inspiration in architecture, nature, shapes, and non-ceramic design. She does not feel the need to utilize unnecessary decoration on the surface of her work, but rather embraces the clarity and simplicity of the forms. Her creative approach combines industrial clarity with unique artistic execution that requires intense amounts of handling. The clarity and finish on her work is intensive, time-consuming, and laborious, and each piece is generally handled and refined so much that it looks like she never touched it.
