As a research-based artist, Evelyn Gonzalez’s work is a deep reflection of her independent studies in the fields of New Materialism, Feminist Theory, Queer and Trans Theory, and Psychoanalytic Theory. Her entry point into philosophical discourse is through a history of ceramic traditions. In this case, Gonzalez creates her series Of Bodies Straining to See using two ancient materials and methods—Greek Ostraka and Maya Blue. Feature writer Jeanne Vaccaro reflects on Gonzalez’s performance of self and her propositions regarding clay and its relationship to queer-trans-feminist theories.
