Jan Hoy, Rhythm Squared, 2024, clay with iron oxide finish, 8 x 10 x 10 in
Jan Hoy works from small, hand-built water-based clay forms that serve as the foundation for her larger sculptural practice. Finished with iron oxide, these intimate tabletop pieces often become prototypes for expanded works intended for outdoor and public spaces. Hoy translates the patterns and structures of the small sculptures into larger scales, adapting them to new materials and environments.
Her larger works are fabricated in materials such as Corten steel, mild steel with painted finishes, or stainless steel, each choice altering the character and presence of the form. This shift in scale and medium transforms the original clay studies into durable public sculptures, many of which are installed throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Hoy values the collaborative process of public art production, working with fabricators, engineers, and communities to bring each piece into being. For her, the transition from small studio objects to large-scale installations is both technically and creatively rewarding, offering the opportunity to share her sculptural language with a wider public.
