<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Jennifer Brazelton: Essential
Structures</span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoTitle" style="margin-left: 1.0in; text-align: left; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoTitle">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">I juxtapose the macro and
the micro to highlight visual parallels and to remind us that we are
structurally connate with the world around us. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Relationships and interdependence are building
blocks for Jennifer Brazelton’s work.<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>Her
intricately constructed ceramic forms re-present and abstract our daily
environment. Using extrusions and pressmolds to generate mass-produced parts,
she arranges multiple elements in layered, formal relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The work is simultaneously apprehended as
convoluted highway ramps and as Petri dishes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our human point of view oscillates wildly. Are we inside it or outside
it? Governed by it or controlling it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Brazelton
describes herself an abstract artist. To abstract is to summarize, express a
quality greater than individual elements; to look at ideas. But how do we look
at an idea? In our increasingly sophisticated world, bombarded with visual
signals, Brazelton’s approach utilizes common practice. The artist employs
abstraction by visual blurring between very large and very small points of
view. Repeating patterns - bacterial colonies or farm fields - show an
arrangement of orderly elements whose purpose includes generation, protection
and nurture.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Brazelton reduces these
components to reveal essential elements of the governing structure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Her inspiration comes from visual patterns as
apparently unlike as maps of San Francisco bus lines, viral colony growth
patterns, or machine gears. Patterns of the urban environment contribute to her
organizing principles of visual composition. The mechanical formations hide the
hand of the artist. What is revealed is the mind of the artist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -40.5pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">This intensive investigation
began during graduate study at San Francisco State University.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For her thesis exhibition, Brazelton took the
view from a plane as her point of departure, creating scaled landscapes of
fields and cities as seen from the sky. Relationships of size and space,
especially hidden aspects, change with distance. The abstracted perspective
which allowed new visual relationships to emerge intrigued the artist, who
says, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Long airline flights provided
inspiration in the ever-changing landscapes…layered over each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rivers and roads became branching trees,
human veins, and knots of rope.”<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Brazelton’s highly
thoughtful work includes installation and social practice, such as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pieces of What,</i> a large-format work
recently exhibited at the Richmond Art Center. The wall-mounted piece is a
complex pattern of circular blue forms, with irregular interiors in formal
shapes suggesting a labyrinth. Viewers experienced a focusing of vision, from
the large view across the gallery to face-to-face inspection of color and
texture of individual components. Brazelton says</span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">: ”Color for me expresses emotion/ texture can suggest many
things simultaneously.” </span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">The composition evokes a map, with implied movement, pathways and
destinations, and the dissected tubular forms reference the human lymph system,
called a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">transport system</i> in
medicine.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">Lamentations</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">
series critiques the American practice of war as business. War has changed very
little for soldiers at the human level, even as weaponry has moved from stones
to smart bombs. This is the aspect that Brazelton addresses. What is war? is it
the nightly news? The body count, which was dinnertime viewing fare during the
Vietnam era? </span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">Lamentations: Growing
American Culture</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> resembles a giant sunflower. Very close reading reveals
that the ‘seeds’ are hundreds of tiny heads of soldiers in helmets. The generic
little heads call up our tepid reaction to the newspapers listing their deaths,
where each face receives one square inch of newsprint in a format as ultimately
anonymous as Brazelton’s minute castings.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: -22.5pt; tab-stops: 423.0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Brazelton’s
</span><i style="font-size: 11pt;">Neighborhood</i><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> series looks at the
gated community concept in terms of organic generation and protection. Much
map-based art uses the original cartography, altered but still inherently
familiar at a casual read. Brazelton further abstracts this, remaking the world
in terms of the connection between a baby’s head and an electronic
gatepost.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Neighborhood: Crossroads</span></i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"> is an attenuated oval shape
with three swelling apertures, symmetrically placed around a saw-toothed red
form. The color of the red form, its shape and the texture of the wet red glaze
all evoke organic growth. Small spurs on the edge of the red form reveal
themselves, on close reading, as baby heads. They are slick and mottled with
red, like newborns.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the core of these
implied<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>lives is the nurture and
protection of the babies inside the gates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Very real human conditions drive families to choose survival and
guaranteed protection through such exclusivity. Today’s most exclusive retreat
in the world is found in the manufactured islands near Singapore, quite
literally a world of one’s own, which is what Brazelton asks us to consider.
Aerial views of these new constructions bear an uncanny resemblance to
Brazelton’s clay communities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Brazelton’s process, like the work she creates, is
an intricate layering of intimate and monumental structure, fused into a new
entity. She says “</span><i><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">My
creative process is about absorbing and filtering ideas and information.”</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 356.0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">It
is important to the artist that the works are beautiful, and that they meet
exacting standards of technical construction and formal composition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In order for the close relationships between
macro and micro structures to prove out, they must be accurately made. The
necessity for getting all the details right at this level makes Brazelton a
meticulous worker. Although her careful attention to detail is thorough and
considered, she remains open to spontaneous evolution, and the clay contributes
its </span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">unique unpredictability:<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
“I love the unknown element, especially the results of kiln firings. You
might think you know what is going to happen, but often it is not what you
expected. This can be both good and bad.” </i></span><span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;">Brazelton
uses abstraction to reveal hidden structures stripped of nonessential elements.
Engaging her detailed work is provocative, as we are called upon to exchange
casual perception for a thorough awareness of how closely enmeshed we really
are. To be connate can indicate that dissimilar elements are forced together.
The layers of such connate structures vary extremely: water in rock, charged
ions in soap, soldiers at war. The protected family inside an exclusive
community is also confined there, linked through social expectation and
practice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brazelton’s ceramic works
locate and examine these hidden relationships, creating a fascinating new
lexicon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I started a new 68" or 173cm sculpture today. After making the USA, I had to make this one. It will be a wall piece. After todays events in France, I am thinking about it more and more. I changed the format to this shape. Wish me luck. I am going to need it!</div>

<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Statement:</span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><br />SMAart Gallery & Studio is pleased to present Socially Conscious Abstraction, featuring ceramic and mixed media sculpture by eight California based artists and is curated by Jennifer Brazelton. The artists in this show have created sculptures with socially conscious intension utilizing a sophisticated personal visual language. These charged abstractions reinterpret the phenomenon of people, places, and things into a personal language ripe with possibilities. Each artist begins with what Twyla Tharp refers to as the “Spine”. Their abstracted sculptures are supported by a conceptual backbone.

The book is a very detailed exploration of how 100 different artists approach glazing. It is full of helpful technical information and plenty of inspiring eye candy too. I hope you can pick one up. </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Glaze-Ultimate-Ceramic-Artists-Guide/dp/0764166425" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="background-color: white; color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.amazon.com/Glaze-Ultimate-Ceramic-Artists-Guide/dp/0764166425</a>Jenn Brazeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14103773639818879253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128883942876692340.post-72678624391072417382014-03-28T20:25:00.000-07:002014-03-28T20:25:37.641-07:00New Work- Argentina and Brazil <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

As another year comes to a close I find myself in the painting/experimental part of my art making process. This is one of my most recent alcohol ink on vellum pieces. I love this combo and I am starting to combine print making techniques with the inks. <br />
I have also been working with animal jaw bones. The images below are made from muskrat jawbones. I call them Terminator Orchids. I am so inspired by the bone sculptures of Judy Onofrio. <a href="http://www.judyonofrio.com/work/new/default.html">http://www.judyonofrio.com/work/new/default.html</a> Check out her work if you haven't seen it. Amazing!<br />

I have been working on these for the past few days. I pulled out the dusty glue gun and combined it with the alcohol inks. I am obsessed with the transparent curly glue lines. The bottom piece was from the day before I pulled out the gg. Sometimes I just need to paint. I am about to start a seven foot sculpture of Israel, and this is what I am doing. Creativity is an interesting process to watch.

Another venture into new territory. This is my 3rd year in the Plates and Totems Invitational at the <a href="http://www.rosevillearts.org/">Blue Line Gallery in Roseville, CA</a>. This year I decided to make a totem. Wow, I had no idea how challenging this would be. The engineering was a learning experience! I think it came out pretty well. I titled it after the Nico Case song <i><b>This tornado love you</b></i>. This pic is from my iphone. Better images to come in the future.Jenn Brazeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14103773639818879253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128883942876692340.post-43977070722319023012013-01-31T11:43:00.000-08:002013-04-19T12:09:05.752-07:00New Work- Oliver's Travels<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

I have been absent from the blog for a while so I thought it was time for a peek at what I have been working on in my studio. I have been venturing outside my comfort zone lately, first working on the basketball player, and now a dog. I was invited to submit a dog to the Bark Show at the <a href="http://www.natsoulas.com/">John Natsoulas Gallery</a>. I was inspired by my student Terry's Italian Greyhound Oliver. It was fun to work on a new form. I studied with Jeff Downing and watched him make many dogs over the years. I think that this came in very handy. Thanks Jeff!<br />

He and I are having an ongoing conversation about capturing the surface of my sculptures with stark shadows versus the soft lighting that most people are using these days. I am including the soft lighting version of Qatar for an example. I like them both, but wonder which style shows the surface treatment better? I like the dramatic lighting, but is it too much? I would love some opinions on this issue. Thanks!<br />

I am excited to be collaborating with Veronica De Jesus on a sculpture of this basketball player that she drew. We had our first work day today at my studio. She is sculpting the head and I roughed out the shoes, legs, and started the the shorts. He is going to a very big guy. I have never made a figure this large. I know we are in for some challenges but I think we are up for it. We are using Dixon clay and building the armature out of half inch pipe. Check out Veronica's fabulous work on her website. <a href="http://www.veronicadejesus.com/">www.veronicadejesus.com</a> I will post new updates as the piece progresses. Wish us luck!</div>

September was a busy month for shows this year. I will get back on the blog updates once I get some of my new work photographed. I sold Libya and the drawing that went with it, so that is good news. The texture above is what I plan to use for the NCECA show in March. I have a ton of work ahead of me.Jenn Brazeltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14103773639818879253noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128883942876692340.post-30602894873966271932012-09-11T09:30:00.000-07:002012-09-13T07:09:10.528-07:00Ceramics Annual of America 2012<span style="font-size: large;">I am excited to be showing my Constructed Cartograms this weekend at the Ceramics Annual of America at Ft. Mason in San Francisco. Please check out the event website for the scheduled lectures and demos at <a href="http://www.ceramicsannual.org/?page_id=6">http://www.ceramicsannual.org/?page_id=6 </a> Below is the statement for this current body of work. A big thanks to Ben Hennig </span><span style="font-size: large;">for letting me sculpt work based on his maps. I am attaching an example below in case you haven't seen my process. Please contact me if you need tickets to visit the show!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"><b>Constructed Cartograms<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> Online research led
me to the Worldmapper website where I found the unique two-dimensional shapes
created by Benjamin D. Hennig’s
Phd. research. These gridded population cartograms reflected the human
landscape, but also suggested abstracted insects, animals, and flora. I was intrigued by the possibility of
sculpting these shapes and Ben was enthusiastic about a cross-pollinization of
the arts and sciences. Images of my sculpted cartograms have been included in
several of his lectures including a presentation to Population Special Group at
the 2012 meeting of the Association of American Geographers (AAG) in New York.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> The first phase of
this body of work has focused on the countries of the Middle East. Interpreting maps that reflect the
location of the people seemed like an appropriate place to begin. Color and
texture always play an important role in my sculpture. The gold and silver line work is used
to suggest the potential for human flexibility and success. The crawly,
cracking glazes represent shifting circumstances and political changes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> The maps presented
in these sculptures are equal area cartograms, otherwise known as
density-equalizing maps. The cartogram re-sizes each territory according to the
variable being mapped. In this case the variable is the human population. The
underlying grid ensures the preservation of an accurate geographic reference to
the real world. Please view Ben’s
website at <a href="http://www.worldpopulationatlas.org/">www.worldpopulationatlas.org</a>
for more maps and information. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

I started to surface treatments today. I am using the rolled Keraflex for the front decoration. I am thinking Morocco wedding theme. Don't ask me why, because I have no idea how it became wedding themed... other than my henna mehndi research, and the cakes, well....maybe I do know. He he. I know the how, but the why is another story. </div>
