Theme: What Lies Beneath
Juror: Lisa Clague
Definition: Surreal: marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream, having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream; unreal; fantastic:

We are looking for sculptural work in Clay that fits the definition of Surreal. Work that is born in the subconscious space between dreams and consciousness. Where the unreal can manifest itself in a fantastical way. Work that provides insight into the world of the imagined and unreal.

Juror: Lisa Clague The textural ceramics of Lisa Clague arouse wonderment and otherworldliness. Clague lists Hieronymus Bosch, Frida Kahlo, Louise Bourgeois, Hans Bellmer, and the Surrealists as her inspirations. Her three-dimensional sculptures and wall hangings examine inner journeys, oftentimes influenced by her dreams. Animals -- monkeys, rabbits, and deer -- often accompany her central figures. "My work evokes a place between the subconscious and the intangible. My hybrid figures have been influenced by prehistoric art, the "Great Mother" figurines from the Neolithic period, the animal-headed figures from the rock shelter of La Madeleine and also the bird headed Egyptian Goddesses and archaic Greek Kouros figures." - Lisa Clague----
