Hey!
My name’s Drake Perez. I’m a recent graduate as an Art Major at Northern Michigan university with an emphasis in both video and ceramic art. I’m always striving to push both mediums in unique ways.
Growing up in a remote area, cinema was one of my most prominent ways to connect with the world – both at home and in the big picture. One of the big reasons my family and I would go to town together aside from groceries, work, or school; was going to the theater. This love grew into a desire to create films and videos to spread the joy and messages I once saw and enjoyed growing up.
Ceramic art came into my life through a friend pushing me to take a wheel throwing class, and I’ve been in love with the medium ever since. The physical touch between the artist and the clay is something that doesn’t come in modern day filmmaking. This difference between tangible and intangible has helped create a balance within myself as I navigate through the physical world and the ever-growing presence the digital world is creating.
Ultimately, I’ve come to love working with these two completely different mediums and I’m excited to see what the future holds with both of them.
