Brad and Bryan Caviness are brothers who make unique ceramic artwork in Browns Summit, North Carolina. They combine their interests in history with talents for art and design to inspire an appreciation for monumental achievements in art and architecture, bring attention to the destruction of ancient sites, and generate an interest in preserving the ones that are still here, whether threatened by the slow progress of time, natural disaster or war. "We start by creating interpretive reproductions of ancient pottery. After distressing the surface, the jar is broken to reveal the interior. We then work clay into the volume of the jar to create a panoramic view of the site, visually uniting a culture's artifact with it's location. Our jars are illuminated by a spot light from above or a small lamp built inside the jar."
