The Clay Studio presents Clay & Conversation: Liisa Nelson

The Clay Studio presents Clay & Conversations, an exciting series of informal conversations and get - with ceramic artists, curators, scholars, and friends together. On February 21, join Philadelphia-based ceramic artist Liisa Nelson to learn about her new exhibition Dreams. The exhibition comprises a series of sculptures, furniture, and wall tile pieces exploring human longing through the myths and spirits of the past, blending them with symbols of the digital age and late capitalism. The collection questions how our hopes and dreams are shaped in an increasingly consumer-driven world and how power structures capitalize on our deepest desires.

Born and raised in Montana, the wildness of nature and the quietude of mountains is in Liisa Nelson’s blood. In 2020, Nelson founded Theorii Contemporary Art Space, an experimental gallery that is currently transitioning from brick-and-mortar to a digital and pop-up-based project. Participants can register for the discussion on Zoom.
