Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Linda Lopez. She creates playful ceramic sculptures of dust that, while abstract, recall both living creatures and inanimate objects. In our interview, we talk about Lopez's parents' role in instilling a sense of wonder and animism in her and how it has influenced her practice. We also discuss the evolution of her "Furries" and how she does not back down from a challenge despite how surprising clay can be.
