VELVET DA VINCI | ||||||||

Jessica CalderwoodARTIST'S STATEMENTMy work consists of drawings and sculptures that walk a fine line between the beautiful and the bizarre. Sex, gender, and human relationships are subjects that often permeate my work. I use images and forms relating to the body in order to convey my ideas. Some of my drawings and forms are very literal interpretations, while others are more abstracted and ambiguous. I believe there is a tension surrounding attitudes about our own bodies and minds, which runs the gamut from admiration to disdain. My work reflects this aspect of the human condition.VELVET DA VINCI SHOWSFifth International Juried Enamel Exhibition -- Presented by the Northern California Enamel Guild THE ENAMEL SHOW -- Celebrating 500 Enameled Objects by Lark Books COUNTRY OF RESIDENCEUSA EDUCATIONBFA Emphasis in Enameling Cleveland Institute of Art MFA Metals Arizona State University PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCEARTIST RESIDENCIES John Michael Kohler Art Center Mesa Art Center Ferro Corporation TEACHINGCurrent Professor at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh SELECTED PUBLICATIONSNICHE Magazine, "The Next Generation of Jewelers," Spring Issue, page 67, 2008 500 Pendants and Lockets, Lark Books, 2008 500 Enameled Objects, Lark Books, Cover Image, 2008 Ornament Magazine, "Signs of Life Review," Volume 30, 2007 No.4 Glass on Metal Magazine, "Interview: Jessica Calderwood," June Issue, 2007 American Craft, "Portfolios," February/March Issue, 2006 Arizona Foothills Magazine, September Issue, page A22, 2006 The Cultural Times — The Arts of Colorado and Beyond, March Issue, 2006 The Art of Enameling, Lark Books, 2004 Enamel: Technique and Experiments, Smiling Greyhound Press, 2004 Metalsmith Magazine, Exhibition in Print and Cover, Fall Issue, 2003 COLLECTIONSJohn Michael Kohler Art Center, Sheboygan, WI Kohler Company, Kohler, WI Ceramic Research Center, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ Central Arizona College, Coolidge, AZ Mesa Contemporary Art, Mesa, AZ Ferro Corporation, Cleveland, OH Top |
