Bio - Tema Zeldes-Roth

I am an artist working in both clay and illustration. Across mediums, my work is driven by an exploration of muscle memory and an inquiry into the processes of seeking, finding, and failing to find. I find both ceramic and paper to be powerful mediums for storytelling; and I see each vessel and page as a small, temporary world. My background as a dancer informs the portrayal of figures in motion and movement in my work.

 

I hold a BA with Honors in Media & Cultural studies from Brown University, with a focus in Religious Studies. Outside of the studio, I am a passionate educator.
