Jessica Niello's Clay Bodies opening at ØGAARD this weekend!
Born in California and working in Oakland, Jessica Niello works in clay and paint. Influenced by mid-century modernism, her work explores both functional vessels and abstract sculptural forms and installations. She continues to draw on a combination of eastern and western techniques and aesthetics as well as her love of the natural world.
For Clay Bodies, Niello draws inspiration from deconstructed and reconstructed ceramic forms that play on the idea of ceramics in it's raw form, before the hand changes it, and all the stages that come after.
Not to mention that we are lucky enough to have Kronnerburger doing the food and Scribe Winery providing wine!
