David Siever was born in New York City in 1990. In 2017 he completed his Masters in Ceramics at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. David creates narrative ceramics, combining his interests in history and art to make sculptures inspired by historical events and by the people that history has forgotten: the “footnotes” of history. Through creating sculptures, David brings these lost figures to life, to have them step out of the photographs, diaries and letters that record their existence and to let them reemerge in three dimensions.

David is a Visiting Artist in Ceramics at the ANU School of Art & Design.
