My approach to ceramics is characterized by the physical act of generating work(s) fueled by raw feelings to stand as an object artifact and witness to the process of its own creation, a concept I refer to as emotive object witness. ‘From the Ashes’ represents the metaphorical concept of grief as a transformative experience. Turning the pain of love with nowhere to go into something more beautiful; like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Memorial stands in honor of my late mother, Donna Marie Russell Spivey – March 26, 1956 – December 3, 1994.
Kayla J. Spivey is an emerging artist, with a current focus in ceramic installation arts, who lives and works in Utica. A native of Camden, NY, her work is driven by the need to create a physical recapitulation of the spectrum of human emotions. She took her first introduction to wheel throwing class at 4 Elements Studio in the fall of 2019, followed by a few semesters of community education ceramics at Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute, and is a current artist in residence at 4 Elements Studio. Kayla works professionally as a scientific writer for Thermo Fisher Scientific.
