Cristina Cordova | 1972 – Present

Cristina Cordova is known for hand-built figurative ceramic sculpture. Signature forms include the human bust, life sized human figures, and monumental human figures that can reach up to 7 feet tall. Cordova often sets her sculptures in an environment with either a wall treatment or the addition of elements that can include clay forms or other materials. She is known to expand the presence of wall pieces by including elements that are separate from the main object.

Experience as a dancer, and early exposure to venerated figures in Catholicism, greatly influences the trajectory of Cordova's work.
