Nicki Green

Multidisciplinary artist and writer Nicki Green works primarily in clay to create sculptural works that explore crosscurrents of gender, identity, and spirituality. In paint patterns and forms that reference traditional Judaica and depict scenes of transgender and queer histories and cultural practices, Green imbues her large-scale, glazed ceramic sculptures with ritualistic and devotional symbolism. Green’s works are vessels for transformation; intricately hand-molded and constructed, their corporeal forms imply further ceremonial uses beyond their sculptural integrity. More than just objects, Green’s works suggest a readiness to deliver their bearers to a higher state of self-awareness and a stronger connection to the divine.
