Leonard Witte

Leonard Witte is an artist and ceramist. Many of the pots, urns and other objects he makes from clay first take shape in drawings. They form, as it were, the material culture of a world that otherwise exists only on paper.
He draws inspiration for both form and theme from archaeological finds and historical imagery. He is fascinated by the fact that the world of our distant ancestors is so unimaginably different from our own. Through his work, he explores his relationship with an unknowable past.
