The Clay Studio Work Exchange Consider the Future
Jun 1st - Jul 1st, 2018
Fourteen Work Exchange Artists help The Clay Studio in our day to day operations. In return they get access to our group studio space. They are talented, dedicated young people who represent the future of ceramic art. We've asked them to consider the future and make work that represents this moment in their artistic lives. These works will comprise a snapshot of the amazing artistic energy happening at this moment in the history of The Clay Studio, as we are on the threshold of our future: a purpose built home in the South Kensington neighborhood.
Imbued 16.14.18
Medium & Materials:
Stoneware
Measurements:
12"x 5"x 24"
Date:
2018
Description:
Emotions can take over when something significant happens to a person. My work creates an all-encompassing story of raw emotions through my life experiences and displays how emotion can guide us through the present and strengthen us for the future. The lasting impression of an emotion defines who we are and has the ability to drastically alter who we become. We, as humans, pick up the pieces these raw, powerful emotions can break us into and put ourselves back together. Even though these breaks and cracks may fade from view, they still linger beneath the surface; creating a unique self. My artwork references specific memorable instances where strong feelings envelop and changed my self, creating a new version and developing me into the being I am today.
Cup
Medium & Materials:
Stoneware
Measurements:
3" x 2" x 2"
Date:

Description:
These cups are a representation of where I am currently in my work and mark a distinctive time in my life. These are the first vessels I created from dug, wild clay just outside of Ridley State Park from clay found when hiking in a place called Mineral Hill. I am moving to Arrowmont in Gatlinburg, Tennessee for the summer and Cub Creek, Virginia after for a 9 month residency. I am hoping to expand upon research started in Philadelphia about developing a clay body fro found, local materials during my time at Cub Creek. These cups are the start of this research and represent my last work in Philadelphia in 2018.
