PEACH!

I am slightly obsessed with snack foods. But, I am sick of eating cheese crackers and rice cakes.  I am on a mission to make my own new and exciting snack foods with my long-forgotten food dehydrator.  Gingered peaches and cinnamon sweet potatoes…I can’t wait.  Now I am going to need beautiful bowls and jars for my beautiful new treats.  What a great excuse to buy pottery. If you make it to the opening for this next Call, please find a new snack-storage solution for me while you’re perusing the BEST in clay work, functional or not. Take a look…

JUROR: Joe Bova was born in 1941 in Houston, Texas and lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  He was educated at the University of Houston (BFA, 1967) and the University of New Mexico (MA, 1969).  His work in ceramics using animal imagery was first inspired by the realities of hunting and fishing trips, and later by their power as symbols, surrogates and totems.

Learn more about Juror Joe Bova!Bova’s later work continues an underlying eroticism inspired by Moche pottery in addition to an increased sense of socio-political content.

His work can be found in the collections of the Arizona State University Art Museum; Greenville Museum of Art, Greenville, SC; International Ceramics Studio, Kecskemet, Hungary; Los Angeles County Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Mint Museum of Art, Charlotte, NC (two works); and the San Angelo Museum of Art, San Angelo, TX.

Visiting artist appointments have included the NY State College of Ceramics at Alfred, University of Georgia’s Cortona Italy Program, Haystack School in Maine, Penland School in North Carolina, the Rhode Island School of Design, and Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado.  Bova’s work and teaching has led to extensive travels through Latin America, Europe and China.
