Jaime Cantrell is a garden growin', TNR'n, cold brew sippin', music festin’, mouthy friend o’Dorothy. By day, she’s a tenured college professor; by weekend, an artist-activist and former abortion clinic escort at Hope Medical Group for Women. Fueled by anger in October of 2021, she began hand building clay and porcelain yoni ceramics as a cathartic response to her rage surrounding TX SB8 and the then-ongoing challenges to Roe v Wade. Her art celebrates the right to bodily autonomy and seeks to bring awareness to reproductive justice advocacy. Since 2021, her creative work has been featured in the lesbian-feminist magazine, SINISTER WISDOM. In New Orleans, her home studio is Puddle Clayworks in Mid-City. There, her process involves carefully mason staining her porcelain pieces with rich pigments before trimming their delicate folds in 7k gold luster. This technique allows a through-body color to pigment the entire porcelain piece, offering a unique and intricate aesthetic. She finds her inspiration...anywhere she can.
