The history, culture, and land of Santa Clara Pueblo are highly influential in the artist’s practice. Simpson’s ancestors have lived in Santa Clara Pueblo for millennia. On a walk through a nearby mountain range, the artist and her daughter use footholds made centuries ago, and find other signs of the bodies that once shaped the environment. Given the knowledge and heritage of her ancestors, Simpson finds ways of continuing their shared narrative. Building upon the skills passed down to her by her mother, Roxanne Swentzell, and her grandmother, Rose Naranjo, both artists and ceramicists, she creates and explores inventive ways of making work, understanding herself and her home, and continuing her lineage.

Liz Larner experiments with abstract sculptural forms in a dizzying array of materials, including polychromatic ceramics that evoke the tectonic geologic shifts of the western landscape.
Watch this video about Arlene Shechet who is a contemporary artist working with clay. Use the handout to help you create an Art 21 sketchbook assignment. You will create a 1 page VISUAL JOURNAL profile in response to the work of your selected artist.
Here is some more info about Arlene Shechet from the art 21 website:
art21.org/watch/art-in-the-twenty-first-century/s7/arlene-shechet-in-secrets-segment/ Arlene Shechet is curious about the obscured origins of industrial objects, folding clues about production processes into her handcrafted ceramic sculptures. With their hollow interiors often hidden from view, Shechet’s sturdy clay vessels disguise their true nature through dazzling surface effects and the illusion of solidity. For her exhibition Meissen Recast at the RISD Museum in Providence, Shechet juxtaposes her reproductions of original Meissen factory molds made during a residency at the Meissen Manufactory in Germany next to the original Meissen porcelain dating back to the 18th century, revealing the usually hidden industrial roots of those objects.
Read the handout CAREFULLY and follow the instructions to create 1 sketchbook page that you will turn in at the end of class on the artist, Mike Murphy. The video can be found below, or by clicking this link.
