Heather Rosenman Ceramics

Honored to be part of WALL WORKS presented by Umu Studios, a group exhibition of ceramic wall pieces on view May 1 & 2‬
‭at Umu Studios, 369 S Rosemead Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107.‬

‭Ceramics, with roots in both utility and sculpture, take on new associations when hung on a‬‭ wall. Wall Works invites artists to explore the expressive, conceptual, and structural possibilities‬‭ of clay in vertical form—transforming the wall into a stage for material, form, and shadow.‬

‭This show celebrates clay as a medium that doesn’t just occupy space—it redefines it. Each‬ piece navigates the boundaries between craft, design, and art—expanding how we understand‬ ceramics within contemporary interiors and architectural context.

The Reliquary Side Table by distills sculptural form and function into a vessel-like hourglass silhouette, rendered in hand-thrown stoneware with her signature Luna Lava glaze. Topped with a sandblasted, removable glass disc, the piece invites personal ritual – serving as an altar for treasured objects or daily essentials. Rooted in Brutalist influences and ancient archetypes, Rosenman’s work is defined by graphic tactility and elemental restraint, shaped through a design practice grounded in material experimentation and modernist clarity. The Reliquary reflects her ongoing dialogue between the primitive and the contemporary where ceramic tradition meets a stark, industrial poetics. ⁠
