Cym Warkov creates timeless ceramic vessels that are imbued with qualities of both that of an archaeological find and a sensual modernity. Her process can be best described as an organic collaboration between herself and the materials involved in making each piece. That ongoing conversation between imagination/construction, artist/elements is fully immersed in the concept that there is elegance in simplicity and beauty in imperfection. Art and alchemy are in constant play as she extracts the most essential and harmonious aspects. Stillness and movement is equally reflected in each hand-made vessel. They are textured, sculptural forms born out of an intuitive authenticity. 

Cym Warkov’s work comes to life in her warm, spacious loft at the historic Rossmor building in St. Paul, MN, where her dog, Birdie, is the ever-present master of ceremonies.
