186: Jessica Brandl on the influence of Gothic novels and dark humor

Written By Ben Carter

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Jessica Brandl. Her vessels are covered with drawings of rural American landscapes, abandoned architecture, and the flora & fauna of the environments she is investigating. In our discussion, we talk about the influence of Gothic novels and her use of the literary formula - subject, object, place - in shaping the content of her work. To see examples of her ceramics, visit jessicabrandl.com.
