This past month, I was featured as one of two artists in the self-titled show “Woven Earth” at Humboldt State University. We chose the name because both myself and the other artist, Nichole Vasquez, use clay to mimic non-clay materials.
Through my pieces, I focus on fabric and how clay can be used to imitate cloth or how woven materials can be used directly on a piece. Nichole Vasquez’s style of hand building with porcelain makes clay look like woven grasses, creating cultural forms in a new medium. Both of us use our work to explore the limits of clay and encourage the viewer to consider the elements presented.
