Modern Relics - Epanouie #3

Stacy Solodkin’s work is a balance of strength and delicacy, expressed through sculptural forms that feel both ancient and alive. Hand-built using raw clay bodies mixed with cotton linter fiber, each piece carries the imprint of time—creases, folds, and voids left behind as the fiber burns away during firing. These physical absences become poetic presences, holding space for memory, transformation, and impermanence. Her work is a meditative study in texture and gesture.

Organic and gestural, the sculptures evoke unearthed artifacts or ceremonial objects, as if pulled from an archeological dig of the psyche. Rooted in process and instinct, her practice rejects perfection in favor of authenticity, revealing a quiet resilience in every crack and curve. Solodkin’s work is not static—it is a vessel of emotional and material history, holding stories written in earth, fire, and the artist’s hand.
