Symbiotic 11

Sale price$2,400

This collection explore's Nadia fascination with various scientists' research on the impacts of climate change on forests, and the reliance of these ecosystems on the unseen work of fungus to adapt to it. With the Symbiotic Collection, the work takes inspiration from mycorrhizal fungi – critical members of the plant microbiome that form a symbiosis with the roots of most plants on Earth. In this series, the Sgraffito patterns etched onto the surface of mushroom-like shapes recall these complex networks that feed and support the functions of larger organisms. In their dormancy, these works remind the viewer that, despite appearances, there is always growth and circulation—life, ultimately, in stillness.

About the Maker

Nadia Stieglitz

Nadia Stieglitz embarked on her journey as a ceramic sculptor in an unexpected way. In June 2021, she showcased her work at a pop-up exhibit at the boutique high-end hotel, The Drewberry, in Charleston, SC. Despite having only taken a few pottery classes in 2019, the overwhelmingly positive response to her sculptures ignited her artistic ambitions and propelled her toward further art events and opportunities.
In 2022, Stieglitz's dedication and talent were recognized when she was named the Emerging Artist of Artisphere, a highly-regarded art festival in Greenville, SC. She was also selected for Artfields, a respected art competition and festival in South Carolina created by
financier and philanthropist Darla Moore, in both 2022 and 2023, further cementing her reputation as a rising artist.
