Throughout history, the human form has been symbolized as a container of life, emotion, and spirit, reflecting both fragility and resilience. How does the body hold and convey our stories, memories, or cultural history? Artists were encouraged to celebrate the interplay of form and storytelling in clay.&nbsp;Juror &amp; Curator:&nbsp;Nancy Pirri is an artist from Chicago, working primarily in ceramics and creating figures of all sizes. Pirri has won awards from the Beverly Arts Center and the Rockford Art Museum, including work published in ‘500 Figures in Clay’ V2. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including SOFA in Chicago representing women's rights anniversaries, and has acquired collectors from all over the world.&nbsp;She has exhibited with numerous galleries in the Midwest and is currently represented by Oliva Gallery, J. Petter Galleries (MI), Design at 329/Primitive/The Stalls, and Inner Haven Gallery.&nbsp; ARTISTS EXHIBITING:Nikki Renee AndersonMonica BalcLynn BasaAaron BeckerSharon BladholmDebbie BurkLisa FarrisAutumn HorwathLynda Lawson KarrJayne KingDawn LiddicoattLinda MarcusJohannah Tomita MartinAmber MatthewsSuzanne MauroCarole McCurdyBobbi MeierArny NadlerAndryea NatkinAlexis Lee Ortiz-DuarteRoberta Ulrich-de OliveiraSusan VolkChristopher WilliamsRunhi XuThomas Zamiar Image: Arny Nadler (associate professor of Art Sam Fox School of Art and Design at Washington University St Louis Mo )&nbsp;&nbsp;
