{"title":"NEKISIA DAVIS","description":"\u003cp\u003eNekisia Davis is a mixed media artist from Texas who spent twenty years in Brooklyn and several years in Traverse City, Michigan, before landing in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She began working with clay in community studios and through workshops that shaped her process-driven approach, and went on to post-baccalaureate study at Western Michigan University. Outside of formal academic training, she embraces bright color and a bit of absurdity to create sculptures that balance humor with weight. In 2025, she received Best 3D Entry at the Northwest Michigan Juried Art Show at the Dennos Museum Center.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nekisia-davis-snorks-2026-a11","title":"Nekisia Davis, Snorks, 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eCeramic and mixed media sculpture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e18 x 18 x 30\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLimited edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnframed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy ceramic sculptures confront the absurdity of our current moment head-on with a result that is at once playful and powerful. Using wild colors and a lexicon of clip art \/ pop culture objects, they centralize the idea that silliness and play are key to remaining buoyant and joyful in a world that can feel anything but. Questioning our bodies' relationship with color on both cerebral and primal levels, they explore the ways color signals abundance and vitality to our brain. How can color be used to increase our access to joy? Our access to happiness? A more expansive life? My current work is an invitation to the viewer to get silly, too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nekisia Davis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67984942465133,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/6728\/6125\/files\/a11-027-1.jpg?v=1794272182"}],"url":"https:\/\/cultureeditart.com\/collections\/nekisia-davis.oembed","provider":"Culture Edit Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
