Timothy Bahash
Arts/Industry: Pottery, 2002
Timothy Bahash is interested in dirtiness—as imposed dirtiness and earned dirtiness. Imposed dirtiness is associated with public spaces, typically within urban environments. Earned dirtiness is equated with labor and passion—manifested through sweat and stains.
Bahash has exhibited his work at Atlantic Center for the Arts (FL), Woodmere Art Museum (PA), Historic Yellow Springs (PA), Forbes Gallery (PA), and Silver Eye Gallery (PA), among others. He received the Maurice Freed Memorial Prize for Mixed Media from the Woodmere Art Museum, a AIGA Communication Graphics award, and an Annual Pittsburgh ADDY award.
He has been artist-in-residence at Atlantic Center for the Arts (FL) and at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center’s Arts/Industry at Kohler Co. (WI).
Bahash earned a BFA in design from Carnegie Mellon University.
