Excerpt from Andrea Moon's Resume':
Andrea Moon is a St. Louis based artist who constructs complex ceramic structures through the repetition of simple forms. By stacking stoneware ribbons or building up coils into basket-like structures, Moon produces networks with each piece relying on its neighbor to build a larger whole. Outside of the studio, Moon has prioritized the construction of a strong arts community, directing residency and education programs at the Red Lodge Clay Center, The Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China, and Craft Alliance, St. Louis.
“I create sculptures that are personally meditative, repetitive with
pattern, and orderly in structure. However, I push against my patterns
of order to create a vulnerable, tense form that implies a invitation of
interpretation. I am interested in exposing the process of material through
positive and negative layers, and building in multiples to test structure and
contrast space. I seek a pattern of control in building or a physical order
that exposes small questions of stability and instability through form.”
