Biography
Alleghany Meadows received his BA from Pitzer College, Claremont, CA, and his MFA from Alfred University. He studied with Takashi Nakazato, Karatsu, Japan, received a Watson Fellowship for a year field study of potters in Nepal, and was an artist-in-residence at Anderson Ranch. He has presented lectures, workshops and been a visiting artist at art centers and universities nationally and internationally, including Penland, Alfred, Kansas City Art Institute, RISD, Archie Bray, Haystack and UGA Cortona, Italy. He exhibits widely and is the founder of Artstream Nomadic Gallery and Studio for Arts and Works (SAW). His work is in numerous public and private collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Long Beach Museum of Art, and the Huntington Museum of Art, WV, where he was honored with the Walter Gropius Master Award.
Artist Statement
My investigation is a search for beauty. It is an active search for emotion, feeling, content and form in objects intended to be held in the hand. My work is intimately connected through size, form and surface to the human body, to culinary rituals, to history and to our culture. I wish to make work which inspires creative decisions in actions such as preparing a soup or arranging a moment for tea.
I am fascinated by ways which my work can affect time and experience. Perception of the world is an evolving process directly linked to experiences. We experience the world through our senses. Memory and my understanding of memory are connected to sensuous experiences. A new cup becomes familiar as I learn its subtleties, its pace and rhythm, its weight and balance when full. Each experience of having tea engages my senses. Through time and use, the cup acquires a patina of memory which reflects back these experiences.
Repetition and rhythm in my studio process are similar to autumn leaves on the forest floor, tracks of a bird in wet sand, ice crystals on a frozen stream -- such patterns, although composed of repetitive elements, continually change without exactly repeating themselves.
