o Year: 2023

o Description: Clay and ceramic are the focal point of my work. I am as obsessed with these materials as I am haunted regarding their often destructive extraction methods. While I align my artistic practice with ecological art, I like to see each piece exist broadly, capable of conveying various messages. The ceramic railroad rails I create are emblematic of this ethos. Fashioned from discarded clay salvaged from neglect, they embody a metamorphosis of form. Each rail, contorted and reborn, seems suspended in a cosmic limbo, disrupted by an imagined cataclysm. Using them as sculptures, I confront the destiny of our objects and materials once we have relinquished them, inviting contemplation on our relationship with consumption and waste. o Artist website: anthonymagnetti.com
