Clay Creatures
is a multi-disciplinary art practice
Working with the mediums of poetry, ritual, photography, devised theatre, painting, and whatever the concept calls for, Brea Youngblood + Evangeline Stott weave worlds together.
We invite you into the emergent and sacred mythical world-building of Clay Creatures. Art has always been about meaning-making. A sacred practice of making the immaterial manifest. It is soul-work. It is healing work. It is raw, humble, messy and wild.
In this realm of ritual and embodied performance we create our own myths and wrestle with old ones, mapping and re-drawing the maps of our own lives and histories as we pose alternatives to the curses in the stories we’ve been handed. What if Medusa cut out her hair? What if the Pleiades turned the fire of a star onto Orion?
What if we are brave enough to write another way?

Evangeline Stott
Evangeline Stott is a multi-disciplinary creatrix, ritualist, and dream worker. She uses her art to explore the connective tissue in our relationships to self, our loved ones, and our tender planet. Much of her work centers around grief and our intangible connection to the spiritual realm, laid down in visceral color or felt through movement work.
Evangeline’s work has been shown at The Grind and StateraArts Gallery in Cedar City UT, River Rock Cafe in St. George UT, West Elm in Las Vegas NV, Buunni Cafe in New York NY, and The New England Carousel Museum.
