About the Item

This recent body of work from Jeff Suina (Cochiti Pueblo) presents a series of complex clay vessels and forms that utilize traditional Cochiti techniques in unexpected ways. As an artist, Suina draws inspiration from a broad range of subject matter that spans far beyond his chosen media. A self-professed "sci-fi nerd", he has embraced the use of digital modeling technology in drafting the compositions of his complex glaze patterns and has begun to explore the realm of natively digital works (AKA - NFT's!) as well. While referencing contemporary phenomena, such as Star Trek, quantum mechanics and J.R.R. Tolkein, Suina's designs are built up through multiple layers of foraged and naturally derived pigment made from wild spinach, utilizing ancestral technologies to communicate playful, contemporary messages.

  • "RAKU RED AND WHITE", wheel formed white glaze, copper red, gold leaf, sculpture
    By Andrew Cornell Robinson
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "RAKU RED AND WHITE", 2019, in wheel-formed white glaze with copper red blush, sprig, stamp, gold leaf and raku fired with kintsuji gold by artist Andrew Cornell Robinson, is one of a series of sculptural objects that include ceramic, glass and mixed media grottoes and containers. A project exploring the vessel form and notions of gratitude, plenty, poverty in material or humanity. Robinson has led artists to explore tableware as sculptural form – "Changing attitudes and emerging social behaviors in food preparation and the social and cultural rituals of eating have lead to changes in the way tableware is made and used." Andrew Cornell Robinson is an interdisciplinary artist working across media (ceramics, textiles, painting, prints, etc.). His work is influenced by collaborative craft communities, traditions, and the performative qualities of cultural production. The underlying ideas exploring identity, histories, rituals, and power in his work aim to create a space for intimate experiences and open narratives. He studied ceramic sculpture at the Glasgow School of Art and the Maryland Institute College of Art where he received a BFA. He was awarded an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, where he became interested in the intersection of memory, identity, politics, and power. He has been featured in many publications including Sculpture Magazine, Huffington Post, Hyperallergic, Art Info, et al. He has participated in curatorial and research projects and recently was a participating artist in Debtfair a project in the Whitney Biennial. Andrew has also worked on collaborations with designers such as Donna Karan’s Urban Zen project where his work in ceramics led to workshops with artisans in Haiti and the creation of a ceramic studio in Port-au-Prince. He is currently working with The Powerhouse Arts Workshop and their design team from the Pritzker-prize winning architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in the design and development of a contemporary industrial fabrication center established to serve the working needs of artists in New York City. He is currently a member of the faculty at Parsons School of Design and Greenwich House Pottery in New York City. His work has been presented extensively throughout the world with the Anna Kustera Gallery, David & Schweitzer Contemporary, Christopher Stout...
