Artist Reviews:
Things of nature unknown: The
Art of Edith Garcia
By Robin Rimbaud and Jay
Miskowiec
Broken mouths drawl their
silent words at you as
retracted eyes seek a hollow
sightline. As if satisfied,
tongues lip their lips and
writhe in self loathing.
Dismembered figures crawl as
if on broken glass ...

| Your Personal Biography |
Born in Los Angeles, California, Edith Garcia creates work that draws you into an alluring world of installation and sculpture. Current work derives from what she refers to as ‘contemporary monsters’, influenced by everyday life as well as by growing up in a society that uses the hybridization of humans throughout its history.
Her body of work has been exhibited throughout North America, Mexico and Italy, in spaces such as the Northern Clay Center, Minnesota, Escuela Nacional de Artes Plasticas, Mexico City and is included in the permanent Sculpture Garden of the Archie Bray Foundation, Montana. Most recently she was awarded McKnight Artist-in-Residence Fellowship at the Northern Clay Center [USA].
Her work has recently been published in Neu Keramik, Ceramic Review, Ceramic Monthly, American Craft Magazine and exhibited at Ceramic Art London and AAF in 2007. Upcoming her work will be profiled in
Breaking the Mould: New Approaches to Ceramics by Black Dog Publishing and Confrontational Ceramics: Artist Critique Society by A&C Black.
