"CLAY: A SOUTHERN CENSUS"
Juried by Asia Mathis
May 13 - June 25, 2022
The Clay Center of New Orleans is proud to present our 2022 “Clay: A Southern Census” exhibition, on display May 13 - June 25, 2022. This annual juried group show features ceramic vessels, sculptures, and wall-mounted works by artists residing in the states that make up the U.S. Census Bureau’s “South Region."
See this exhibition in person on Fridays and Saturdays between 12 and 6 pm, or see and shop the entire show online!
About the Juror
Asia Mathis is a ceramic artist based in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Middle Tennessee State University in 1999 and began work as a fulltime artist in 2004.
To portray the human search for authenticity, belonging, and the question of modern identity, Asia’s sculptural works feature animals, human figures, and poetry overlaid with complex and layered textural surfaces. Her pieces investigate the question of where we are truly at home when much of our ancestral culture may have been dissolved, destroyed, or is one in which we do not wish to be a part. With the same holding true for the environment, and the modern problem of being disconnected from the land and its creatures, a kind of 'hole' is created in our identity.
