Contemporary, Functional Ceramic Art Collection
Salt and Earth Ceramics are designed and handmade by artist Malia Landis. I seek to create environments of eccentric juxtapositions that illuminate the vulnerability and impermanence of environment, memory and time. I utilize visual elements such as plants to represent growth, braided hair to symbolize the passage of time, fish, and birds to illustrate flight, migration, and nesting. My studio process is composed of both the curiosity for the medium’s complex chemistry and the clays inherent ability to take any form. Malia Landis is a sculptor and ceramic Artist living in Crockett, California. Born in St. Helena, California and raised in Waimea, Hawaii, Malia received her Bachelor's of Arts from Humboldt State University in 2010 and her Master's of Fine Arts from San Jose State University in 2014.
