Corners of My Mind

Katharine Schmidt at Fire Arts, July 7- August 25, 2023

“I work in ceramic sculpture and mixed media using the human form, sometimes realistic, sometimes not, to explore the vague anxieties, confusion, and spiritual hunger that come from living through rapidly changing times.

Since childhood I have studied archaeology, archetypes, and mythology, so it is no surprise that motifs from these sources tend to show up in my work. Many of us feel that the worlds of our youth and young adulthood have disappeared forever, and we often feel displaced. The advantage of using historical imagery is that I am reminded that many wonderful worlds have come and gone before us, and that what we are going through is nothing new to the human experience.”
