This Is Not a Shoe with Diana “Didi” Rojas

Today on Clay in Color, we chat with Diana “Didi” Rojas. She creates ceramic sculptures of brand-name shoes, from sneakers to high heels. In our interview, we talk about seeing her shoe sculptures as portraits of the wearer and a reflection of social media-driven consumerism. We also discuss the resourcefulness of her practice and how collaborations with brands have informed and supported her work. Furthermore, she tells us about performance, labor, and playfulness in her process and imagining her sculptures as future artifacts.   Skutt is a proud sponsor of Clay in Color.
