Cody Bloom

What I am or who I am in this world comes from how I was raised in my family and my life experiences I’ve had to go through good and just downright horrible. Through writing it allowed me to create magical worlds to take my reader into a world built from my psyche. The work is inspired by the sense of urgency for one’s self to ask? What I do or say does it change my wheel of Destiny? The initial sketches of my work come from the narrative of my characters in my book series, the Guphaedra Chronicles, that are based on my facets as a teenager growing up. Additional themes of my work center on fictional world exploration, vulnerability, discovering one’s true self, and overcoming hurdles that have stopped me dead in my tracks from childhood into adulthood. When I am creating ceramic functional work, I work from a place that is devoid of others. As the piece evolves I make tonal adjustments to the work. My Drawing and paintings are representative of the different stages of my childhood and adolescence. The fascination I had was exploring new worlds in Anime, manga, and Kamen Rider that repressed the bad and told the story of what it means to be good or bad. The characters that appear in my work are responses to people that I wanted to be and meet to spark a change in myself. My ceramic functional work features ceramics, pencil drawings, painting with commercial underglazes to tell my tale of people with magical art powers to save it from people who want to take it away from all of us. Its my connection that connects us together. As I continue to have difficult conversations with myself, the narratives I incorporate in my functional work represent transformation, breaking boundaries, and challenging the wheel of fate once more
