Rumination In Isolation: Raven Halfmoon

This exhibition features eight new works of painted ceramic tiles, three ceramic renditions of popular drink cans and three of her definitive and highly recognizable Caddo woman clay busts. These pieces were selected to represent a unique insight into the way the artist felt as the COVID-19 pandemic grew and impacted her, her community and the entire society. 

Raven Halfmoon (Caddo Nation) was born in Norman, Oklahoma. She received her BA in painting/ceramics and anthropology from The University of Arkansas. She was selected as a 2019 Burke Prize Finalist, Museum of Arts and Design NY, awarded American Craft Councils Emerging Artist Voices Award and Ceramic Monthly Emerging Artist Award. She has completed residencies at Center for Contemporary Ceramics in CA, Haystack Mountain School of Craft and Red Lodge Clay Center. 

As an important gesture of solidarity, the artist and this gallery pledge to donate 10% of total sales to THE AUNTIE PROJECT’S Navajo Nation Covid-10 Family Relief. For many American Indian people, the isolation created by the pandemic was especially impactful as they continue to live both traditional and modern lives. We encourage readers to visit the response fund’s website at https://www.theauntieproject.com to learn more about how COVID-19 is impacting Native Americans.

This exhibition raised $1800 for THE AUNTIE PROJECT.
