Material & Embodiment

A Ceramic Student Exhibition – AUArts

Material & Embodiment explores the intersection of form, process, and meaning in contemporary ceramic practice. This exhibition features work by emerging artists who engage with clay as both a material and a conceptual medium. Through various techniques—hand-building, wheel-throwing, and experimental approaches—each piece reflects a unique dialogue between materiality and human experience.

As clay shifts from soft to solid, from earth to object, it retains traces of touch, intention, and transformation. This exhibition invites viewers to explore ceramics not only as an artistic form, but as a vessel of embodied experience where material and meaning are deeply intertwined.

Join us in celebrating the depth and versatility of ceramics with artists Eryka Bruder, Maria Jose Frausto Ontiveros, Mandolin Martin, Minh Nguyen, Tess Swain and Ashlynn Tsoi.
