    Episode Six: Surviving + Thriving with Eliana Rodriguez

    Eliana Rodriguez works at the intersection of ceramics and printmaking, two mediums with weighty connections to indigenous practice and colonial oppression. Through her use of brown clay, the symbols she employs and her deeply informed approach to her art, she creates work that ties back to her own heritage while creating opportunities for others to see themselves in her art.  This is the fourth installment in a series of episodes in which ceramics artists discuss the ways that bodies, their own or our cultural perceptions of them, impact their work - and how their work is effected by the bodies of those that view or use them. Follow Eliana on Instagram @eliana_e_rodriguez Learn more about her work and the other artists in this series at www.hystericsblog.com

    In the finale to this series on ceramics and the body, artist and trans activist Mac McCusker discusses the ways in which they use their own body in their work, exploring the realities of transition, political policy, and the flimsy nature of gender binaries.
