Tammie Rubin

Tammie Rubin is a sculptor and installation artist whose practice considers power objects, coded symbols, Black American migration, citizenry, rituals, and magical thinking. Rubin employs ceramic conical forms, raised maps, and murals to create spaces of metaphysical, physical, and spiritual escape. Using imagery and objects of the familiar, she contemplates ideas of authenticity and inherited meanings while inviting new considerations that open dream-like spaces of unexpected associations and dislocations. 

Rubin has exhibited widely; selections include Project Row Houses, Houston, TX., the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY., George Washington Carver Museum, Austin, TX., Mulvane Art Museum, KS., Indianapolis Art Center, Indianapolis, IN., The Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, TX., Women & Their Work Gallery, Austin, TX., and grayDuck Gallery, Austin, TX., and Rivalry Projects Buffalo, NY. Rubin is represented by C24 Gallery, New York, NY., and Galleri Urbane, Dallas, TX.

Rubin holds an MFA in Ceramics from the University of Washington in Seattle and a BFA in both Ceramics and Art History from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Born and raised in Chicago, Rubin now lives in Austin, where she is an Associate Professor of Ceramics & Sculpture at St. Edward's University.
