Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Seattle artist Anika Major. Her pottery features paintings of female figures created with subtle layers of watered-down underglazes. She says of the work, “Each character is a heroine within the space of the pot and allows me to explore my own perspectives of domestic comforts and eroticism.” In the interview we talk about the Cow Babe theme of her recent exhibition and making art celebrating queer identity. We also discuss moving to the Pacific Northwest and building community at Rain City Clay, where she is the studio manager. To see her work visit www.anikamajor.com.
We are excited to be celebrating the 2nd birthday of the Brickyard Podcast Network with an online auction and fundraiser. Sixteen artists have donated work to help us raise money to support the network. If you are a fan of our podcasts don’t miss this chance to buy work from Sarah Pike, Roberto Lugo, Adrienne Eliades, Michael Kline, and many others. Bidding will start on the network’s birthday August 16th and ends August 19th. To find out more visit us at givergy.us/TheBrayBrickbyBrick.
