Juror by Judi Tavill
Entries due November 15, 2020
The Clay Center of New Orleans seeks applicants for its annual “Sculpture National” exhibition, a juried group show that explores and celebrates clay as a sculptural fine art medium.
Open to sculptures and sculptural wall-mounted works or installations that are at least 50% ceramic materials, this exhibition will be on display April 9 - May 22, 2021 in the Clay Center’s gallery space in the heart of New Orleans.
About the Juror
Judi Tavill is a ceramic artist with a studio based on the oceanic shore of New Jersey. Her current sculptural practice explores duality: protection/possession, connection/entanglement, energy/tension.
Born in 1968 in Baltimore, Maryland, Tavill received her BFA in Fashion Design from the Washington University in Saint Louis in 1990. She achieved swift success as a fashion and textile print designer, finding acclaim as the head designer of Lilly Pulitzer prior to the birth of her children. She left her career in fashion to pursue her art interests in 2002, and after delving into various mediums, she found clay in 2003. Tavill pursued ceramics with a voracious appetite, beginning at a local craft center and attending a great variety of craft school intensives in the following years, most recently pursuing a post-Baccalaureate Graduate Certificate in Artisanry: Ceramics through University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.
Tavill has traveled to lead demonstrations and hands-on workshops, as well as teaching locally and doing volunteer work with special needs students. Outside of her studio practice, she enjoys a Pilates practice and exploration though travel: long walks and hikes in nature as well as city excursions, finding that it reinvigorates and inspires her work.
