EPI 4.3: Tammie Rubin

"I think that the thread has definitely been that it’s all sculptural. I’m truly a 3D person. The idea and the making of the work kind of happen at the same time. Or maybe I cant identify exactly what comes first but I feel like I am pushed forward in the studio though making itself. Researching is a part of that but I actually have to have my hands moving."Tammie Rubin is a ceramic sculptor and professor at St. Edwards University. Since moving to Austin only three years ago she has fully established herself in the local art community. While maintaining a consistent studio practice she also teaches multiple classes, supports many other artists, is a member of ICOSA, and is a Dimension Gallery fellowship artist. As Tammie stated in the interview she pushes herself in the studio to create work while her ideas coalesce through the act of doing and pushing forward into the unknown. After the work is done she can then more fully formulate concrete language about its meaning. She creates order from the noise and chaos of her thoughts and ends up hopefully with the visual cues in her pieces that communicate her complete thought process. Previously her artwork utilized more industrial and recognizable readymade objects that she would then transform and reconfigure through her hand into ceramic sculptures. These pieces were often very colorful, textured, and complex. Her latest exhibition, Everything You Ever, on display at Women &amp; Their Work, utilizes ball moss, wire, steel wool, and other elements as the base of the sculptures.  In the interview we cover the process of making the pieces and also her thoughts about the meaning behind the work. We also talk about the ideas she has explored in her pervious work and how she got into sculpture and teaching, including the details of a class on art &amp; activism.
