As a ceramics GA assigned to Prof. Brian Weaver, I am constantly running art ideas by him. But in our couple of official studio visits, we discussed my work that will take a stance for feminism in the form of the modern-day-housewife.
And while to some that may seem the opposite of a feminist point of view. One of artists he recommended that I’m most intrigued by and think will be a good influence on my work is Cheyenne Chapman Rudolph.
Cheyenne dresses the part of the 1950s housewife, makes mid-century ceramics, and hosts “parties” utilizing the wares she’s created. While I believe that the pots themselves couldn’t necessary stand up as fine art, art yes, the act in which she creates the party and spectacle elevates the work to fine art with performance art.
