Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Kristy Moreno. She creates badass femme and nonbinary figures in clay and paint to examine the bonds between social, political, and personal narratives. In our interview, we talk about ideas of futurism, 90s television superheroes and supervillains as inspiration for her characters, and her practice as a form of building community and achieving survival. We also discuss her use of soft colors to contrast the sharp gazes of her figures and the incorporation of makeup and accessories historically used by Latine women and nonbinary people.
