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.

- Richard Hirsch Ceramic Mortar and Pestle Sculpture #30, 2009By Richard A. HirschLocated in New York, NYContemporary American ceramic artist Richard Hirsch's Mortar and Pestle Sculpture #30 was assembled in 2009. It's wheel thrown and hand built clay, slips and glazes with raku patinas. The following is an excerpt from the book "With Fire: Richard Hirsch, A Life Between Chance and Design" written by Scott Meyer; "The glass "masher" is lightly sand-blasted, suggesting opacity but yielding subtle light penetration, the perfect foil for Hirsch’s heavy clay concavities. Conceptually, Hirsch enjoys the compatibility of the two heat-driven materials, and the alchemical issues with shared chemistry seems right for themes involving vessels and raw geologic age." This four piece sculpture is signed and dated by the artist. It will ship directly from the artist’s studio in Rochester, NY. (Literature: "With Fire: Richard Hirsch, A Life Between Chance and Design", Scott Meyer (Author), RIT Cary Graphic Arts Press 2012 - "Mortars and Pestles" pgs. 57 - 60.
