Common Ground, a project by the sculptor Adam Silverman.
On view at the Skirball Cultural Center through Jan 5, 2025
Los Angeles–based artist Adam Silverman collected clay, water, and wood ash from all fifty American states, Washington DC, and the five inhabited US Territories and combined them to create a set of tableware and ceremonial pots. The resulting 224 ceramic objects, titled Common Ground, is a community-activated artwork that celebrates American pluralism while also fostering human connection through shared meals and collaborative installations.
