This plate is a collaboration between Ash Guynn and India Hines. This piece is about looking back at yourself and taking time to reflect on where you’ve been, who you are, and who you’re becoming. The spiral represents that continuous journey inward, reminding us that sometimes growth means returning to ourselves, seeing things from a new perspective, and allowing ourselves to keep evolving.
Ash Guynn is a ceramic artist and writer in Indianapolis, Indiana, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Craft and Design with a concentration in Ceramics from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He creates ceramic work as a way to embrace his African American heritage and culture, taking inspiration from motifs, patterns, designs, and traditions. He has a strong belief that the arts, in his case ceramics and writing, have a way to connect a person to themselves and the earth in a beautiful way - spiritually, therapeutically, and ancestrally.
India Hines is a self-taught artist born in Denver, Colorado, and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their work is rooted in intuition, spirituality, and the subconscious, treating art as a transformative experience rather than purely an aesthetic object.
Moving fluidly across various mediums, India creates figurative forms and organic shapes that feel both dreamlike and ancestral. Their process is deeply meditative and often begins without a fixed plan, allowing emotion, memory, and spiritual guidance to lead the work. Through this intuitive approach, their art explores balance, lineage, and the unseen forces that shape identity.
India’s practice is informed by their African American and Melanesian heritage, honoring ancestry, myth, and the human spirit. Themes of resilience, intimacy, and personal transformation move quietly through their work, inviting viewers to feel held, grounded, and curious.
This plate was made as one of the 18 table settings in the Indy Makers Dinner Series, By The Hand. By The Hand combines art, cuisine, and community for a unique dining experience. Patina Gallery and Chef Andy Tipton have teamed up to create a multi-course menu inspired by in season produce, utilizing local farms and small businesses when available.
