SUMMARY:Cosmic Artifacts\, Donté K. Hayes
DESCRIPTION:Cosmic Artifacts\nDonté K. Hayes\nOpening Reception | Thursday\, November 6\, 2025 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view November 6 – December 19\, 2025 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery at Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to present Cosmic Artifacts by Donté K. Hayes. In this new body of work\, Hayes examines objects not just as individual items\, but as pieces within a larger narrative interconnected to the greater African Diaspora. Born out of the desire to create the heirlooms that are missing\, lost\, and erased from his own cultural and family lineage\, Hayes creates sculptures that function as “future artifacts” that remix ancestral traditions\, respond to contemporary realities\, and envision resilient futures. \nInfluenced by hip-hop culture and science fiction\, Hayes uses clay as both material and metaphor\, building forms that are inscribed with thousands of etched lines made by a needle tool. These marks accumulate into patterns that echo hair\, raffia\, scars\, and inscriptions. The repetitive textures and incised patterns become meditations on memory\, ritual\, and renewal. The unglazed ceramic surfaces are an unobstructed record of his mark-making\, a way for him to imbue each sculpture with his own presence and memories using a material capable of spanning generations. These “cosmic artifacts” serve as conduits for reflection and transformation\, transporting the viewer to a quieter frame of mind where they can slow down and take a deeper look at the world around them. \nHayes is a New Jersey-based artist. He earned his MA and MFA from the University of Iowa and his BFA from Kennesaw State University. His work has been shown internationally\, including Design Miami (FL; 2025)\, Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art (Kennesaw\, GA; 2023)\, the Armory Show (New York\, NY; 2021)\, and the 1-54 Art Fair (London\, England; 2019). Hayes’s work is part of the permanent collections of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum\, the Gardiner Museum\, and the Institute Museum of Ghana\, among others. He has received many prestigious awards\, including the 1858 Prize for Contemporary Southern Art from the Gibbes Museum of Art\, the 2019 Ceramics Monthly Emerging Artist Award\, and the 2022 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Grant. Hayes has been a resident artist at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts\, Penland School of Craft\, and Haystack Mountain School of Crafts. He is represented by Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami\, Florida. \nGallery images below: Alan Wiener\, courtesy Greenwich House Pottery 2025.
