Alli Blakeman is a South Louisiana ceramic artist with a focus in figurative sculpture. Their process integrates the subconscious repurposing of internal dialogue of identity and southern
culture. Their work explores the contrast of humor and horror in response to the narratives within their sculptures.

Their time at Fish Factory was spent drawing inspiration from the peaceful wintery seclusion in eastern Iceland. They spent time exploring the varying landscape with other artists drawing out
thought provoking conversation. While learning about others processes and taking in each other’s work. This led to inspiration in creating their own sculptures and further planning for future projects. They explored functional sculpture work and experimented with imagery found within the vast factory space. Even delving into other media such as drawing and learning music.
