New works by ceramics artist Cynthia Giachetti










"My work deals with a profound sense of loss and the potential for metamorphosis.  They are reminiscent of geology and archaeology's concerns with the layering of time, place, absence, presence and process.  I have an obsession with history and how related natural phenomena from the past can be revisited in the present.  The artifacts and materials in my work appear to be held motionless and represent the evidence of recurring cycles that enter into our contemporary midst.  My work over the past several years has dealt with human frailty, the mystery of existence and the continuum that exists between conflicting ideas, such as the cycle of life and death.  I use flowers, birds, insects and domestic wares to draw upon images from different life experiences that symbolize loss, tragedy and renewal.  My immediate environment always influences what I create.  The intentions of these investigations is to create wondrous congeries in the hopes of re-enchanting what was once lost.  I uncover, restore, pile, weave and build motifs in a repetitive, ritualistic manner and often produce work that as spiritual overtones.  Art for me is both an investigative and spiritual practice."

Cynthia Giachetti was born and raised in Northern California. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of California at Davis in 2002 where she studied painting with the renowned Wayne Thiebaud and ceramics with the esteemed Annabeth Rosen. She received her Masters of Fine Arts at Louisiana State University, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2007. She has shown in various places across the country including, California, Louisiana, Kentucky, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Florida, Houston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston. She is currently teaching art at Baton Rouge Community College in Louisiana. She received a grant and completed an installation for Project Row House in the spring of 2009 in Houston Texas, working collaboratively with the local community. Also in 2009, Miss Giachetti work was featured in the prestigious NCECA Clay National Biennial and was selected as “the exhibition's most formally impressive piece,” by Ceramics Art and Perception publication. In addition, she recently received a grant for an installation for the Houston Contemporary Arts Museum entitled Hand + Made Contemporary: The Performative Impulse in Art and Craft in May 2010.  This installation at the CAMH, as well as a studio visit is featured in the 2010 fall issue of Ceramics Monthly Magazine.
