"CREEP SHOW II" NOW OPEN!
Juried by Sara Torgison
October 9 - 31, 2020
The Clay Center of New Orleans is proud to present "Creep Show II," a juried group exhibition of ceramic works that can be described as creepy, scary, spooky or downright terrifying. The original "Creep Show" exhibition in 2019 was so popular that we decided to do it again!
Featuring ceramic vessels, sculptures and wall-mounted works, this exhibition will be on display October 9 - 31, 2020 in the Clay Center’s gallery space in the heart of New Orleans. See and shop the entire show in our new online store!
About the Juror
Sara Torgison (b. 1987 in San Diego, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus in ceramics and fiber arts. She holds a BFA in Ceramics from Humboldt State University in Arcata, CA. Sara managed the Ceramics Department at Rosewood Art Center in Kettering, OH and most recently served as the Fine Arts Studios Coordinator at the University of Dayton. She is a current MFA candidate at the University of Cincinnati, Department of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning.
Of her work, Sara says,” My current work is a process driven meditation on creating balance. We live in times of unprecedented upheaval. Our mental health, interpersonal relationships, and ultimately our relationship with the planet and all other forms of life thereon are under constant strain as we struggle to balance the demands of society, family, perceived self, unmet needs, and so on. We compartmentalize our lives and perform socially advantageous personalities leaving little (if any) space to honor our authentic selves. My work seeks to hold space for integration, allowing these bifurcated personalities to take shape -and communicate- as a unified whole.”
Accepted Artists
Jill Bell (NY), Annie Campbell (AL), Nicole Chapman (OH), Curtis Clark (CA), Kelly Clements (LA), Ramiro Diaz (LA), Jackie Fischer (MA), Nancy Greenleaf (TX), Erin Gunelson (MN), Evan Hobart (CA), Gerald Kaplan (PA), Gregory Knopp (NY), Jacob Lagasse (LA), Jazmine Penelope (MT), Emily Potts (TX), Robert Reedy (FL), David Smith (MD), Megan Thomas (OH), Sonia Vera-Leon (FL), David Woehr (NY)
