Ep. 30: Alexandria Crow / Narwal And Crow, Sacred Pottery, Transformation Through Shapes, & Working With The Elements Of Nature
Description
Hello friends! Here is another lovely interview, this time featuring Alexandria Crow from Montana, here is a little more about our artist: "Working in my studio has become a daily ritual and meditation, this practice is what keeps me grounded and centered in my reality. I see each vessel as a chunk of Earth able to be utilized and cherished.
In 2017, I attended a ceremony and as we gathered to eat we went through and took small morsels from each dish and placed them on what was called a Spirit plate. Being a chef and artist, I was inspired in an entirely new way. At the next gathering, I brought one of my creations as an offering. It was magical to create functional wares that were full of intention and beauty. I obtained a passion for creating utilitarian pottery, this small act has expanded into what my work is today, ever-evolving and growing.
Soda firing is full of trial and error. I will forever be learning and have watched my work change dramatically over the past year while focusing on the firing process. The ability to witness the flames' path across the pots creating shadows has brought inspiration to what shapes can do. This next formulation of pots focuses on multifunctional objects and how they can dance with fire."
