"CLAY BODIES" OPENS APRIL 5TH!
The Clay Center of New Orleans is proud to present "Clay Bodies," a juried group exhibition of ceramic works that explore the human figure as a source of form and/or imagery.
Open to ceramic vessels, sculptures and wall-mounted work, this exhibition will be on display April 5-27, 2019 in the Clay Center’s gallery space in the heart of New Orleans.
ABOUT THE JUROR
Jamie Bates Slone is a ceramic sculptor and an Assistant Professor of Ceramics at the University of Oklahoma. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Kansas (2012) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Central Missouri (2008). Between 2012 and 2016, Jamie taught at Truman State University (MO), the University of Central Missouri, Park University (MO), and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
In the last two years, Jamie has held residencies at the Archie Bray Foundation (MT), Red Lodge Clay Center (MT), Red Star Studios (MO) and Studio 740 (MT). She exhibits her work nationally and was named an “Emerging Ceramic Artist” by Ceramics Monthly magazine in 2018.
Jamie’s work addresses the fragility of the human spirit in the midst of physical and mental illness. Of her work, Jamie says, “Through conjured memory, I revisit my personal history with physical and mental illness. My current work is a reflection of those memories with an emphasis on the relationship between human biology and human emotion. By using the figure as metaphor, I am able to reflect the sentiments correlated with feelings of depression, anxiety, fear, and loss.”
