Stephanie Galli’s artwork is focused on desire and sexiness with the body as subject matter, it is essential to address human sexuality. She chooses to pair some of the forms with the intent of suggesting a flirtatious encounter. While the viewer is left to interpret these compositions as they please, the combination of form and surface is meant to encourage the suggestive nature of the pair’s interaction. By maintaining ambiguity through abstraction, Galli, creates sensual curvature of form, sleek and highly reflective surfaces, that seduce the viewer to further investigate and explore the work at an intimate distance. The surfaces of her work are intended to provoke a tactile desire. Through providing such touchable objects and denying the viewer’s interaction Galli exposes the voyeuristic nature of the work.

Stephanie graduated from Indiana University in 2016 with an MFA in ceramics. Galli in 2018 went to Jingdezhen, China for the Jingdezhen Pottery in Residency Workshop. In 2017 she was one of Ceramic Monthly’s emerging artist. Currently, Galli is the Visiting Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Center College in Danville Kentucky.
