Maya Sophie Stansbury
Asheville, NC | Exhibiting Since Reciprocal Artist
Maya Sophie Stansbury is a Polish-American artist based out of Asheville, North Carolina. Informed by an abiding reverence for the environment, the artist’s work forms a tactile and aesthetic connection to the colors and textures of the natural world. The multidimensional artworks are formed through a variety of mediums which channel the fractaling harmony seen within nature.
The artist’s ceramic creations involve complex subtractive carving of the surfaces, yielding alluringly delicate landscapes. This technique pushes the boundaries of clay, often resulting in structural vulnerabilities during firing—an allegorical nod to humanity’s exploitative rapport with nature.
The artist’s stylized renderings carry a cohesive resonance with nature’s symphonic dance, reverberating the artist’s call to reintroduce a rapport with our elemental origins.
