Held in the Body: Clay as Witness explores clay as a vessel of memory, trauma, and resilience. Through fractured forms, symbolic objects, and raw textures, artist Jeff Rogers examines inherited legacies shaped by migration, conflict, and identity. Clay becomes a witness—fragile yet enduring—echoing the complexities we carry within our bodies. Rather than offering resolution, these works invite reflection. They ask us to sit with contradiction, acknowledge shared histories, and listen deeply to what endures through pressure, fire, and time.
