THE LATEST FROM THE CLAY CENTER!
Artwork: "Justice"Cynthia Brannvall, 2019
"IDENTITY IN CLAY" OPEN THROUGH SEPTEMBER 26TH!
Juried by Raven Halfmoon
The Clay Center of New Orleans is proud to present “Identity in Clay,” a group exhibition of ceramic artwork that investigates the existential question of “Who am I?” The work in this show addresses the concept of identity, which is commonly described as a sense of who people are, including how they think about themselves, the way they are viewed by the world, and the characteristics that define them.
About the Juror
Raven Halfmoon (Caddo Nation) is originally from Norman, Oklahoma. She attended the University of Arkansas, where she earned double Bachelor’s Degrees in ceramics/painting and cultural anthropology. She has held residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation (MT), Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (ME), and Red Lodge Clay Center (MT). In 2019, she was named one of Ceramic Monthly’s Emerging Artists, and received the “Emerging Voices” award from the American Craft Council.
Raven’s large-scale figurative sculptures explore her experience as a woman and Native American living in the United States today. Her work expresses her feelings about and understanding of her Caddo tribal heritage, her determination to maintain a place for Caddo culture, and her concerns about current social issues.
Raven’s work has been featured in multiple exhibitions throughout the United States, as well as internationally. She is currently based in Helena, Montana, and is represented by Gallery FRITZ in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
