Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Steven Montgomery describes himself as having, “...an affinity for the aesthetics of damage, destruction or any evidence of the passage of time.” His earthenware creations pay homage to the once-thriving industrial capital, its degradation, and subsequent resurgence. Incorporating elements that honor the regality of Detroit’s auto industry and its machinery and recognize its more recent issues with the safety of its water supply, Montgomery creates vessels that look more like futuristic Bronze Age sculptures than pottery.
In this episode, we catch up with Steven and dig deeper into his work with a focus on his series TOXIC CON, which viscerally comments on the health of the world’s water supply via the Flint Water Crisis. This conversation further expands on his INTERLOCUTOR Magazine interview from May 2021.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
