Mudroom Gallery presents Transmutable Ground by Samirah Steinmeyer. In Transmutable Ground, Samirah Steinmeyer reflects on the elemental language shared between landscape and ceramics, exploring ways to integrate actual bits of local geology into work that is visually inspired by shifting, fracturing, fragile, yet durable rock formations and the organisms that thrive within them. A small selection of responsibly gathered regional rocks and minerals are incorporated into each piece, either as a pulverized essential ingredient in her Caliche  Aventurine glaze or embedded whole and fired into the body of the piece. 

About the artist: Samirah Steinmeyer is a professional ceramicist and former landscape architect born in Tucson, Arizona and raised on both sides of the US-Mexico border. She has exhibited work nationally, including the traveling group exhibition El Zodíaco Familiar, in collaboration with sculptor George Rodriguez. She has been selling her ceramics online since 2012, and her recent work focuses on experimental, meticulous pieces that reflect experiences of landscapes and nature.
