Artist Statement

“ I have these two friends that pull on my heart in separate directions, so when examined it looks bigger than it really is.”
-Elliot Maldonado
My
work is an internal look at the preeminent issues of being bound to
another and the effects it has on individuals. In the struggle of trust
and loyalty love is present and a greater understanding of friendship is
found. Connectedness and the inner struggle to stay honest to myself
and to my loved ones is significant in my work. In the confines of a
conscientious head and heart, strength and integrity are born and
encourage continuity.

can revisit emotions experienced but not quite understood. Striving to
weave a web of connectedness based on internal reflections of my
relationships to the world around me

Literary,
visual storytelling and the art of songwriting play a large role in my
inspiration to create due to storytelling’s ability to allow an endless
yet controlled method of delivering feelings and emotions. The medium is
the apparatus; a means to an end. It is the vehicle which conveys
individual temperaments via storytelling.

Working
with clay lends to the idea of creation in and of itself. It gives the
opportunity to be more connected with the work. Pinching, coiling, and
slab building, I move the earth between my hands until a form starts to
take shape, changing with every movement of my fingers. As I watch it
go through the stages of drying i ponder it’s creation before I put them
through temperatures that a human could not withstand. Using oxides,
slips, underglazes and glazes I treat the surface in a painterly fashion
with brushes and washes before putting it through a series of firings.
Firing them again and again until the surface becomes rich and desirable
and the piece can speak for itself. Striving to provide a sympathetic
relation to narrative in the restlessness of living in one’s head space,
a sickness through which ideas are made.

residency opportunity: Countryside Residency for International Artists in Rome, Italy
Before you read this post I suggest you head over to the blog Culture Vulture with Residencies for a nice write up and personalized view of the residency experience.
: )
The
non-profit organization ‘c.r.e.t.a. rome’ offers an international
self-funded residency program in the countryside of Rome, Italy. The Italian
word for clay seemed perfect to express the co-founders’ commitment to creating
an international reference point for ceramics and the arts in the eternal city
of Rome. Moreover, taken as an acronym, it spells out c.r.e.t.a. rome’s main
activities: ceramics, residencies, exhibitions, teaching and the arts.

The
residency in the countryside is still in Rome, but lies on the border with the
nearest town, Anguillara Sabazia, one of three Medieval towns on the lake
of Bracciano. The nearest train station is 2,5km. away. We have two bikes
available for resident’s use. From the train station there are regular trains
that run to Rome in about 40 mins. There is also a shuttle bus from the train
station to the town of Anguillara on the lake, stopping along the way at
supermarkets, etc.

The
residency includes accommodation in a one-bedroom house with a garden complete
with fruit trees. This is a particularly good option for artists working on
collaborative projects or who seek tranquility for writing. Resident artists
can bring their spouses/companions and/or families (supplemental fee).

Residents
have a well-equipped private studio. For ceramic artists, there is access to
both electric and gas kilns, with options for reduction firing. We provide a
weekly shopping run, technical assistance in procuring materials, firings,
etc., advice on museums, galleries and sites in Rome and beyond.

Artists have the opportunity to focus on their art, whether
it be creating a new body of work, expanding a well-established oeuvre or
allowing themselves to draw inspiration from their surroundings and the
centuries of culture that define Italy. In addition, they will have access to
the wealth of galleries and exhibitions in Rome and beyond. Artists are
encouraged to submit a proposal for a final exhibition to display the work
created during the residency period. The final exhibition will be held in the c.r.e.t.a.
rome gallery in c.r.e.t.a. rome’s studio in the historical center of Rome, just
minutes from Piazza Venezia and the Capitoline museums on one side and the
Pantheon on the other.

arrange optional day-trips to museums and sites in Rome and beyond. If there
are workshops during the period of your residency, you will have an opportunity

from South Korea. He graduated from Cardiff School of Art & Design
with a MA and PhD in Ceramics, during which time he studied the illusory
effects of application of black through to white to three-dimensional
surfaces.
Jin Eui explores in depth tonal effects and spatial illusions,
creating works that are both visually and intellectually challenging. He
makes both none-functional sculpture works of horizontal and vertical
cylinder forms and functional ware, applies the principles of creation
of illusory spatial phenomena such as gradient in tone and size of
bands. He also tries to understand more, the quality of clay and how it
can be combined with subtle variations of tone to create the illusory
spatial phenomena.
