About the Item

"Beaded Flower 9" is an original piece by Jeff Rubio made from terra cotta and stoneware beads, glaze, rope, metal hardware, steel paperclip. This pieces measures 30"h x 7.5"w x 2.5"d and comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Jeff Rubio is a Filipino-American ceramicist based in Philadelphia. His practice employs playful motifs yet is highly technical, and rooted in queerness, nostalgia, and joy. Rubio received his BID in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute in New York. He has been featured in group exhibitions at Huddle, Philadelphia and Good Mother Gallery, Los Angeles. The transition from producing primarily functional objects to decorative objects began in 2022 with an oversized replica of the beaded lizard keychain, a classic Y2K summer camp craft. This beaded lizard was created in the same colorway as an actual keychain he made at summer camp. Through the use of large-scale ceramic beads cast from molds fashioned by the artist, Rubio manages not to simply reminisce but to recapture what it feels like to be a child; sitting on the ground, assembling the sculptures with giant beads and ropes, he feels like a kid again. The Beaded sculptures from Rubio’s Camp Craft series featured in his debut solo exhibition also reflect the outsized space these objects take up in our memory, as reflected in the many stories and original camp keychains shown to the artist by viewers who hold the same reverence for the object.
