Michael Sherrill is a materials-based artist who primarily experiments with clay, glass, and metal. Using an extruder—a clay-forming tool—to create and manipulate forms, he explores the intersection of human craftsmanship and the natural world. “My desire is to create something that might bring its observer to the same place of discovery. It’s one thing too for me to respond to a stimulant and then make it work. It is another thing for that work to go the next step and bring a likewise response from the viewer.”

Sherill has completed residencies at the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, Newcastle, Maine; the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, Wisconsin; and the Corning Museum of Glass, New York. His work is in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery, Washington, D.C.; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.
