Meet our 2024 San Francisco Bay Area Artadia Awards Finalist!
Ramekon O’Arwisters’ (b. 1960) abstract sculpture dives into the abyss and the beautiful. He is a sculptor and photographer, who uses broken studio ceramic and crocheted fabric to redefine craft. With large sharp ceramic shards knotted together using shredded fabric and black zip ties, his sculpture stands as cultural totems, critiquing the art-historical perspective, American culture, and African American craft traditions.
Born in North Carolina, O’Arwisters earned a M.Div. from Duke University Divinity School in 1986. He was an artist-in-residence at the de Young Museum, the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, and the Vermont Studio Center.
