Mya Cluff
Where do you end and I begin? 2021.
Mya Cluff is a studio artist living and working in Belgrade, Montana. Born and raised in Oregon, she moved to Montana in 2017 after graduating from the Oregon College of Art and Craft where she received a BFA in Craft with an emphasis in Ceramics. The birth of Mya’s firstborn daughter in the middle of her BFA was the catalyst of her investigation of the maternal through her art practice. Mya is intrigued with the psychological, political and interpersonal ramifications of motherhood, and uses her own experience as inspiration, as well as the stories of her peers, written accounts of motherhood, and maternal feminist theory to inform her work. Mya strives to give visual form to the intimacy and complexity of motherhood that is often lost through essentializing archetypes. Mya has exhibited both nationally and internationally in group exhibitions, and has work in various private collections. She participated in a short term residency at the Red Lodge Clay Center, in Red Lodge, MT, and in 2021 debuted the show “Where Do I End and You Begin” at the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture in Bozeman, MT as her first solo show.
