Savannah Asmus collects historic pottery fragments surfaced by tides along Mobile Bay and transforms them into contemporary Southern narrative assemblages.

Working in a miniature scale using oil paint, she allows each fragment’s unique shape, damage and history guide the imagery that develops. The resulting work exists between artifact and storytelling--intimate objects shaped by memory, erosion, domestic life and regional inheritance.

Her work examines what is discarded, what is preserved and what quietly enduring.
