Wayne Higby (American, b.1943)
Wayne Higby is an American artists working in cermaics. The American Craft Museum considers him a visionary of the American Crafts Movement and recognized him as one of seven artists who are genuine living legends representing the best of American artists in their chosen medium. Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Higby received a B.F.A. from the University of Colorado Boulder in 1966 and an M.F.A. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1968. Since 1973, he has been on the faculty of the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, Alfred, New York. Working as both a ceramic artist and an educator, Higby has earned international recognition since his one-person show at the American Craft Museum in 1973. His work focuses on landscape imagery as a focal point of meditation and ranges from the vessel from to tile and sculptural works. Rather than focusing on its functional aspects, Higby uses the vessel form as a vehicle for imagery, often inspired by the western landscapes of his childhood, that highlight the interplay between light, space, and time.
