Tyler Young is a Portland based artist who received his BA in ceramics and jewelry and a minor in philosophy from San Diego State University in 2021. Tyler’s philosophical interest has led him to explore ideas related to individual existence and identity while also questioning material hierarchy in art. Specifically, his work questions the manner in which everyday objects reflect one’s individual identity. Likewise, his work takes an interdisciplinary approach combining varying craft mediums in order to confront the complexity in understanding one’s individual identity.
