Similar to a chef cooking with local ingredients, his works are infused with the history, culture, issues and spirit of a place. In the fall of 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic swept the globe, Silverman began a project to address the political and cultural divisions in America. Silverman collected materials (clay, wood ash and water) from every state and inhabited US territory and combined them into a single, new, fully integrated material. This material was then used to create 56 ceremonial vessels that celebrate the nation’s diversity and the idea of radical inclusivity. A series of 56 Ikebana arrangements made by teachers and students at Sogetsu Ikebana Los Angeles are placed in Silverman’s vessels, creating a powerful pairing of American materials and symbols with Japanese traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARTBOOK | D.A.P.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43122538217590,"sku":"9781941753569","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/6296\/2294\/files\/CommonGround_01.jpg?v=1773773786","url":"https:\/\/shop.sojourn-sawyer.com\/products\/adam-silverman-common-ground","provider":"Sojourn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
