West Coast Cactus + Succulent Scene

Regina Fernandez – Port Town Pottery

My mother introduced succulents to me when I was a child I still remember her words, “succulents can come in such cool shapes and many colors and are easy to grow.”

Lisa Nix – Studio Fern Ceramics

My main sources of inspiration are from natural forms and gothic nostalgia. Growing up in the 90s. I’ve always loved the work of artist HR Giger, and grew up immersed in the dark world of Tim Burton.

Joshua Evan – Death Caxtus

I’ve always been into a stark black and white pallete for my paintings, and coming from a critical art school of thought I wanted to make pottery that reflected a newer and more cutting edge attitude

Keith Taylor – Kitoi Ceramics

I wanted to take a succulent to a cactus and succulent show and I didn’t like any of the pots that were available so I went on YouTube and figured out how to make a simple pot.

As humans we perceive natural phenomena as taking ages, yet in the eyes of the earth the growth, erosion, decay and destruction it performs on itself is just the blink of an eye.
