Artist and designer John Born started Humble Matter in 2014 after escaping from the world of advertising. Humble Matter ceramics and sculptures are available across the US and around the world. They have been featured in print and online in publications including Elle Decor, Elle Decor UK, Milk Decoration, Wallpaper, and Vogue. In 2019, John had the first Humble Matter solo exhibition at the Dobrinka Salzman Gallery in New York. Not a New York native, but definitely a transplant who’s taken hold, John has lived in Brooklyn since moving to New York in 1993. When he's not in the studio, John can be found running throughout Brooklyn or relaxing on the beaches of Truro, MA with his family. John has a BFA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
