NCECA | Christie Brown and Tessa Peters | 2020 Clay Week
Cultural Icons: Remaking A Pottery Tradition
In this video presentation, curator Tessa Peters and artist Christie Brown will introduce their recent project, “Cultural Icons.” This project invited leading ceramic artists and members of the community to make works in response to Victorian Staffordshire portrait figures. The resulting artworks were exhibited at the Potteries Museum, Stoke-on-Trent, during the British Ceramics Biennial, 2019.

I will be hosting a competition on TikTok (@milky.way.clay) over the course of the week. Join in and do a duet with me making whatever our wheel challenges us to make each day! Tag your work with #clayweek2020 for an opportunity to win prizes from this juried event.

Je m’appelle Marina Lespérance Lopez et je suis une artiste céramiste qui vit et travaille à Montréal. J’ai découvert la céramique en l’intégrant dans mon travail sculptural et installatif lors de mon parcours en arts visuels et médiatiques à l’UQÀM. Dans le but d’approfondir les techniques du médium, j’ai démarré une formation en métiers d’arts céramiques au Cégep du Vieux-Montréal où j’ai développé un intérêt à fabriquer des objets d’art qui sont aussi utilitaires, qui s’intègrent plus facilement dans le quotidien. Pour moi, la fonctionnalité dans l’art est une manière de faire exister les oeuvres dans la vraie vie. Je souhaite que les gens utilisent mes oeuvres dans leur routine de tous les jours, et de contribuer à ce qu’ils se sentent enracinés et inspirés par ce qui les entourent.

My name is Marina Lespérance Lopez and I am a ceramic artist who lives and works in Montreal. I discovered ceramics by integrating it through my sculptural and installation work during my career in visual and media arts at UQÀM. In order to deepen the medium’s technical aspects, I started training in ceramic arts crafts at the Cégep du Vieux-Montréal where I developed an interest in making utilitarian works of art, which are more integrated easily in everyday life. For me, functionality in art is a way of making works exist in real life. I wish that my public use my artwork in their daily routine, and contribute to a feeling of being grounded and inspired by their surroundings.
