Ron Layport on Robyn Horne—Connections: Renwick Gallery

Ron Layport has been working with wood for his entire life, but Robyn Horne’s “Millstone” series was among the first works in work that inspired the artist to find his own voice.

“Connections: Contemporary Craft at the Renwick Gallery” highlights the evolution of the craft field as it transitions into a new phase at the hands of contemporary artists, which in some way echoes the communal spirit and ideology of the pioneers of the American Studio Craft Movement in their heyday.
