About the Item
Judi Tavill( NJ) creates biomorphic abstraction coupling sculpture with drawing that references the complicated experience of connection and entanglement.
After receiving her BFA from Washington University in Saint Louis, Tavill began her creative career as a fashion and textile print designer, culminating as the head designer/director for Lilly Pulitzer. Motherhood allowed for a shift in her journey and upon discovering clay, she went on to become an accomplished fine craft ceramic artist. Her ceramic work has been shown in a variety of venues including the Philadelphia Museum of Art Contemporary Craft Show, the Grand Gallery, City Hall, Las Vegas, multiple national competitions and is in the permanent collection of the Flint Institute of Art Museum.
Pursuing a post baccalaureate graduate degree through the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth in 2020 served as a catalyst to pivot the focus of Tavill's practice toward abstract contemporary art. This has led to inclusion of her new work in the New Jersey Arts Annual 2022 as well as the Education Gallery at Grounds for Sculpture.
Tavill finds her circuitous path as a creative artist to be an ongoing adventure in investigation, discovery and awareness.
Short Statement
My biomorphic abstract art couples sculpture with drawing as I reference the complicated experience of connection.
Navigating relationships between myself and the greater world, noticing nature’s intricate organization or observing socio-political tension, I find that all connection leads to entanglement.
Tree systems, the human body and our interaction with each other and the earth astound me.
Chaos inevitably ensues, but, hope is found in the opportunity to resolve
confusion, finding a path to harmony.
I reflect upon this as my hands connect with clay, building coil atop coil to create gestural forms that join or link together.
I paint the fired clay, then draw with graphite developing depth as the lines twist, layer, or separate along the surface.
Form is line and line is form, enhanced by negative space and shadows.
This art leads the eye on an adventurous journey that will end or resolve, reflective of our shared experience.

After many years of artistic productions in 2006, he discovered a new material for his artworks: ceramic. "With my artworks I want to transmit energy” — Otto Piene He created wonderful mural reliefs in ceramic. He dropped viscous varnish through different raster-barriers on a prepared clay platter. Not only the setting of the platinum drops creates the individual and unique look of each work but also their convex and interleaving forms. The slight convexity of the platinum varnish drops reflects the light and gives the artwork a discreet white shine. With the mélange of archaic and modern elements, Piene achieves an impressing artwork with this powerful material.
