Topography 16

This stoneware series aims to capture the beauty and visual richness of topography in both rural and human-made landscapes. Using the sgraffito technique, Nadia created voluminous forms with intricate surface designs, depicting patterns and details of topographical features like stone walls, farms, city maps, and subway maps; as well as natural elements such as plant communication systems and water/river networks. These designs showcase the inherent beauty and complexity of these topographical forms- highlighting how they communicate and interact with each other in nature and human environments. The sgaffito technique adds depth and texture, creating a canvas-like surface that invites viewers to appreciate the intricacies of the topographical details depicted. This series is a celebration of the aesthetic appeal and informational richness found in both natural and human-made topography; inviting viewers to explore and appreciate the fascinating designs that these landscapes communicate.

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.
