Matt Merkel Hess

Matt Merkel Hess transforms familiar American objects into works that feel playful, exacting, and quietly destabilizing. Across ceramics and painting, he returns to forms like vessels and Potato Head to examine consumer desire, nostalgia, and the environmental afterlives of material culture. Surface charm gives way to a more charged tension between humor, identity, and ecological consequence.
