Debra Broz's 'Superorganisms' Blend Kitsch and Ceramic Collage
Seattle-based artist Debra Broz creates hybrid ceramic sculptures from found figurines, which she cuts and reassembles into playful, uncanny forms. Her ongoing series 'Superorganisms' features jumbled mounds of cats, horses, rabbits, and birds, with precise junctions that make the assemblages appear naturally formed. Broz describes her practice as 'ceramic collage' and aims for viewers to first recognize familiar figurines before noticing their strange reconfiguration. Three works titled 'Biblical Angel' (2026) will be displayed at Antler Gallery's booth at the Seattle Art Fair, running July 23-26. Broz also runs Science of Restoration, a ceramics conservation practice.
