Jill Oberman observes that all people, universally, establish architectural and psychological protective structures. She devotes her ceramics practice to exploring these structures, and the ways in which people relate to each other through and around them. Her most recent work focuses on the elusive space of the horizon—the contact point where the earth meets sky, or sky meets water—and the tensions revealed there. In her sculptures, the horizon is also a site of convergence for expectation, destiny, desire, hopelessness, distance, and vision.
Oberman's minimal sculptures have been widely exhibited throughout the United States. She earned her MFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology School for American Crafts and has since been an artist in residence at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana; Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Aspen, Colorado; and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
