About

Melissa Gonzales

Born in Orem, Utah, Melissa Gonzales currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon.

Gonzales creates/collects ceramics/rocks. Her informal background in geology elicits the process in which she creates. While her upbringing informs the what.

Her instinctual ordered pieces draw on the language of science to investigate control, feeling enough, futility, and rocks.
