Max Hertz RISD graduate Max Hertz creates playful, interactive works inspired by childhood learning. Fascinated by how play shapes our understanding of space and objects, he draws from building blocks, jungle gyms, and puzzles to evoke curiosity and exploration. His practice challenges the way we outgrow play, inviting viewers to rediscover the joy of learning through form and movement.
