The profile of grain elevators and barns against the prairie sky is a sight that lays bare human purpose across vast stretches of our state. Icons of the Midwest’s farming industry, these buildings endure the extremes of weather. Their angular silhouettes stand unadorned-dramatically contemporary and industrial in an otherwise pastoral environment.

Raised in the small community of Conrad, Iowa, Tyler Speicher has mimicked the clean lines of these same forms in his ceramic vessels and their glaze patterns. With the eye of a minimalist, he has formatted their outlines to the surfaces of functional stoneware.
