Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Irja Bodén's ceramic sculptures combine stacked and nested ceramic forms embossed with texture and layered with thick glazes. Each piece begins on the wheel, where she transform raw clay into narrative-based abstract sculptures. The interplay of shape, color, and texture reference the northern landscape along with other realms both physical and metaphysical – from subterranean depths to spiritual domains.
