Woody De Othello (b. 1991, Miami, Florida) shapes clay into figures that register like emotional barometers, their swollen forms and exaggerated features giving physical weight to states of feeling we often leave unnamed. In his contemporary resonance, De Othello’s ceramics feel both familiar and disquieting—every rolled eye, pursed lip, or oversized hand declaring a presence that moves between humor and honest vulnerability. These works anchor emotional interiority in tactile surfaces, reminding us that sculpture can be as expressive and immediate as a gesture or a glance.
