Throughout his career, he continued to pursue his passion for sculptured portraits and stone carvings. In the 1950s, he dedicated himself full-time to ceramics. Conover’s monochromatic palette, simple shapes, and Mayan titles invite the viewer to experience the object through a personal lens, a contemporary tabula rasa. The pieces are timeless and appropriate to almost any design idiom.
