Zoë Powell, Ceramic Vessel 04, Magnolia Series, 2021

About the Item

Title: Magnolia 04 Year: 2021 Artist: Zoë Powell Large, free-form ceramic sculpture made from a blend of high-iron stoneware clays hand-collected by the artist in Minnesota. The surface is hand-polished with diamond sandpaper to render a matte finish. Signed with the artist’s mark along the rim. This work is original and one of a kind. - - - - - - - - - - - - ABOUT THE SERIES: The six unique forms in this series reference magnolia blossoms at different stages of florescence. Powell experiences the magnolia flower as an enduring symbol of home and these works were created to help bridge the expanse between two distant times and places within the artist’s life, connecting her childhood home in Virginia to her newly chosen home in Minnesota. These sculptures are amongst the largest Powell has ever created, their scale intending that each command a particular sort of attention within the living environment, effecting a constant and welcome reminder of the past. The Magnolia Series is meant to awaken one’s memories of home while fostering the potential for future nostalgia for the current moment. - - - - - - - - - - - - ABOUT THE ARTIST: Zoë Powell’s work consists of organic sculptural vessels made from clays and minerals she collects and processes herself. She views working with locally sourced materials as an exercise in sustainability and aims to take full responsibility for a material by honoring it throughout the production process. She is interested in psychological pathology and how external relationships can influence an individual’s mental and emotional state. Zoë graduated from the College of William & Mary in 2016 with a B.A. in Fine Arts and a B.S. in Biology. She is currently working from Studio Alluvium, a gallery and local clay production studio she co-founded with her partner in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her work has recently been featured in: Dwell, American Craft, and Ceramics Monthly. In addition to private collections, her pieces have been exhibited in various galleries, academic institutions, and museums across the United States and Europe.
