Electra Pelias
The spaces we inhabit between love and resentment, closeness and distance, safety and fear are never fixed. What is soft is never just gentle, what is familiar is never entirely safe. Birthdays are scary. My work exists in these quiet moments where truths reveal themselves.
My practice moves through these tensions, tracing the edges where tenderness meets discomfort and sweetness veils something more complicated. Through ceramic sculpture, found-object installation, printmaking, and fiber art, I transform the familiar into the unfamiliar, inviting dialogue around the subtle oscillations between the mundane and the uncanny. Working across materials that embody both fragility and endurance, my work examines how memory, materiality, and emotion intersect to tell stories of place, trauma, and transformation.
