Item Description
The winner will receive this unique ceramic sculpture designed and painted by artist by Sierra Slentz.
The sculpture is made by a combination of hand building, carving and altered slip casting.
Sierra Slentz received her BFA in photography and studio arts from Sierra Nevada College in 1997. She attended graduate school at The University of Nevada, Las Vegas and earned her MFA in 2001. Slentz’s work draws from many places including her interests in environmental science and gardening to her childhood memories and fairytales. Her work often uses a variety of materials such as ceramic, fabric, wood, spray foam, plastic flowers, pearls, plastic birds and acrylic paint to create works that hover somewhere between a habitat & sculpture & painting. Slentz recently started casting & altering ceramic figurines to create installations that reference the human-need to interfere or to recreate perfect environments. These fairytale-like settings give the viewer an open-ended narrative, yet subtly pose the question, is it really just a story? Sierra Slentz currently lives and works in downtown Las Vegas.
