Los Angeles-based artist Adam Silverman collected clay, water, and wood ash from all fifty American states, Washington DC, and the five inhabited US Territories and combined them to create a set of tableware and ceremonial pots. The resulting 224 ceramic objects, titled Common Ground, is a community-activated artwork that celebrates American pluralism while also fostering human connection through shared meals and collaborative installations.
