Adeline Gutowski (Born in 2004, Livonia, Michigan) is currently a Junior at The College for Creative Studies, majoring in Craft and Material Studies and minoring in Art History. Adeline preserves the mundane through ceramics, fibers, and found objects.  She recently exhibited at Someday Gallery in Detroit.

My practice explores the preservation of the mundane, helping me make sense of the world around me. I examine fleeting moments by memorializing them in ceramic—a material known for its permanence—and recreating iconic imagery with found objects and fiber

I hope to immortalize the mundane moments through my work, highlighting the mediocrities (such as never placing higher than 7th place in middle school track events and consistently being a C+ student) in hopes of digesting my feelings and making people feel seen along the way. I use humor as a way of connecting with viewers, drawing them in while also celebrating the small but profound moments of life.

I use traditional craft techniques to bring a sense of familiarity to my work and embrace the ever-growing human desire to create. I continue to push narrative through ironic humor, making light of the everyday, all while being historically informed.
