Celia Feldberg
I make earthenware pottery which I slip and sgraffito to tell stories. The illustrations draw on my personal experiences and affinities, chasing the quality of a memory with sensitive line work and soft colors. I strive for my pottery to be touchable and practical. These vessels give space for my drawings to be seen and engaged with often, and on many different occasions. My characters are informed by storybooks and films that anthropomorphize animals for their innate charm and humor, inclusivity, and ability to create emotional distance to talk about difficult themes. I seek balance in my work, wanting the pieces to feel both niche and relatable, to express joy with a touch of poignancy or playfulness with an edge of carefulness. One of the best parts of making this work is sharing it, as I love when people feel uplifted by the pieces and connect the narratives to their own experiences.
