“DUG DEEPER” Ceramics Exhibition - Curated by Qwist Joseph

Clay has long been a narrative material. For 30,000 years, through its responsive plasticity, clay has given us insights into how people felt, thought, and lived. Today, the field of ceramics is at an exciting moment when artists are using this sensitive material to tell their own stories in more explicit ways.

Dug Deeper will showcase contemporary ceramic artists who boldly confront their identities head on. These artists specifically use clay to celebrate, investigate, and question themselves and their place in the world, generously teaching us about ourselves in the process. The Filley is honored to feature these renowned artists in this exhibition.
