The sculptures on these two pages are coiled, hand-built objects that have been fired in wood fired, soda and electric kilns. The most labor-intensive firing is the wood fire kiln. A large outdoor kiln, that can hold several hundred pieces, is fed with wood over a one-week period slowly increasing the temperature to roughly 2300 degrees then the kiln cools for one week before it’s opened to reveal the results. This method is known for producing unique and varied surface effects on the finished pieces due to the way the flames, ash, and atmosphere interact with the clay and glazes during the firing process.

DeANN PROSIA
DeAnn Prosia (born March 22, 1963, in Chicago, IL) is an American printmaker best known for her detailed architectural line etchings. Prosia has won over 100 awards for her artwork and is in major collections such as The Rockwell Museum, Corning, NY; New York Public Library Collection; Fort Wayne Museum of Art; and the Syracuse University Art Collection. She is a member and former President of the Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA).
Prosia received her education at Northern Illinois University where she earned a BA in Communication Studies with a focus on Advertising and a minor in Art. Prosia also took life drawing classes and studied pastel drawing with artist, Nina Weiss, at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Prosia’s commitment to printmaking came in 1988 when she met Chicago printmaker, Phillip C. Thompson, whose architectural style, line work and tone caught her eye. Over a three-day period, he taught her the basics of printmaking. On the fourth day, she ordered her first printing press from Blick, set it up in her studio apartment, and got to work creating etchings. In 1990, with Thompson’s help, she started doing weekend art festivals.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Architecture is one of the strongest symbols we have that allow us to instantly recognize when and where we are in the world. The buildings in a big city are as diverse as the people who live there. They vary in size, color, material, detail, and age. Built over centuries by different people, buildings tell the story of our history. They have experienced the best and worst of humanity, seeing everything but revealing nothing. They are secret keepers, quiet and respectful of those who constructed them and those who worked and lived in them. They are strong protectors and provide shelter for those who need it. They oversee the progress of civilization, losing touch with nature as the population booms and more buildings are needed. And although their forms and details can be beautiful, they are not braggadocious, they stand proud and down to earth.
While their exteriors present us with strength and beauty, the contents and inhabitants of their interiors are often unexpected. Some businesses that occupy these buildings suit them perfectly like a butcher and shoe shop with their ground-floor large windows displaying their goods, while other businesses, like a dentist, go hidden within tall unassuming buildings down narrow hallways and behind frosted-windowed doors. As buildings and occupants come together, cities are born, gathering populations together onto one big stage. In a city, one can be incognito while being in plain sight, observing a dance of chaos where everyone’s roles intermingle perfectly. The fast pace of the city’s occupants intermingled with the slow meander of tourists against the backdrop of concrete and brick begin to balance each other, creating a calming and serene effect.
