Sorrel Stone
Sorrel Stone is a figurative sculptor from Connecticut’s dairy farming region. They are captured by the lessons taught by animals, the land, and the people who live reciprocally with them. Working with earthenware clay as their primary medium, they utilize the figure to articulate queer culture and address identity politics stemming from the colonization of land and bodies across the Americas.
Stone received their MFA in Studio Arts from Syracuse University in 2024 and their BFA in Ceramics from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2014. They have been the director of a community clay studio in Pittsburgh, an assistant for Cristina Cordóva, and an NCECA Regina Brown Fellow. Stone’s work has been exhibited across North America, including the Archie Bray Foundation and Miami Art Basel. They have been featured as one of the "Top 20 Sculptors to Follow" by Art is My Career, out of the United Kingdom and as one of “12 Contemporary Ceramic Artists Breathing New Life Into An Age Old Tradition” by Munchies Art Club Magazine, out of Austria. In 2024 Stone was a Yasha Young Sculpture Award Finalist for the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize, by the Australian based Beautiful Bizarre Magazine.
