About His Work:
“As technology continues to accelerate and the pace of life roars forward, I feel compelled to subvert this momentum by making what I call “slow objects”—handmade things that invite pause. Through my work, I aim to create opportunities for shared contemplation and experiences.”

A Collaboration with Gutter Box Gallery:
Gutter Box is a sculptural and curatorial project started in 2016 by multi-disciplinary artist Louis Watts that transforms a donated Indy Week newspaper distribution box into a miniature white cube gallery. This retrofitted box, once used to disseminate information, now serves as a chamber of potential between space, artists, and audience. Originally located outside Lump, an artist-run gallery in Raleigh, NC, Gutter Box moved to the North Carolina Museum of Art in Winston-Salem, NC in 2023. The project invites artists of all disciplines and locations to experiment with installations that achieve monumental effects through scale shifts, using minimal materials and time. As a sculptural object born from the mundane shell of a newspaper box, Gutter Box offers passersby an unexpected, unguarded encounter with contemporary art. Remaining independently run and curated, the box is freed from the rigid programming of institutional museums or the commercial sterilization of galleries, creating a blank space for surprising artistic engagement within daily activity.
