Joshua Tree-based Brock DeBoer is a ceramic sculptor utilizing porcelain, historical motifs, and surface treatments to recontextualize everyday objects. Items from his past and objects of popular culture are highly nostalgic to his generation, and they touch on many facets of everyday life. DeBoer’s highly crafted casts in porcelain become archival—altering their permanence while questioning the value of these everyday objects. By using classical motifs of cobalt patterns and true to life finishes, DeBoer’s Cowboy Boot casts become suspended between the past and the present.
