The JB Blunk Estate preserves and advances the work of the late artist JB Blunk, through exhibitions and publications, and by maintaining the Blunk House, his iconic hand-built home in Inverness, California. Working primarily in wood and ceramic, artist James Blain Blunk (1926–2002) developed a distinct style that drew upon the Japanese principle of directness as well as an unfaltering reverence for the qualities of natural materials. Taking archetypal forms and translating them instinctively through raw, salvaged materials, Blunk produced a body of work that represents an innate expression of, and conversation with, nature.
