The sculptures she creates focus on human psychology, stripped of context and rationalization, and articulated through animal forms. On the surface, these figures are simply feral and domestic individuals suspended in a moment of tension. Beneath the surface they embody the impacts of aggression, territorial desires, isolation, and pack mentality. Her work focuses on human psychology, stripped of context and rationalization, and articulated through animal forms.
Beth received GAP Award funding to defray the significant costs incurred by transporting a group of small-scale figures to Japan. The works will be designed around a central theme that will incorporate the experience of living and working at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan. Her work as an artist has always been heavily influenced by the places in which she has worked, and she often strives to capture a sense of the history and cultural personality of the people who live around her.

Beth Cavener Stichter, “A Rush of Blood to the Head”, Clay
Clay sculptor, Beth Cavener Stichter has a unique approach to the artistic expression of the emotional human experience, through animals. Titled &#;A Rush of Blood to the Head,&#; the title of a Coldplay song, her sculpture depicts two male goats standing on their hind legs, their mouths locked in a passionate embrace.
“I select animal subjects since the animal body is removed just enough from my own to establish a distance, yet the personal relationship is irresistible. Here, I become far enough away from myself to unravel questions previously tangled in a self-conscious quagmire.”
Her creatures seem to embody the same consequences as humans, yet they are cloaked in animal skin. “Beneath they are experiencing the impacts of aggression, territorial desires, isolation, pack mentality … I want to pry at those uncomfortable, awkward edges between animal and human.”

&#;Primitive animal instincts lurk in our own depths, waiting for the chance to slide past a conscious moment. The sculptures I create focus on human psychology, stripped of context and rationalization, and articulated through animal and human forms.&#; Thus begins Beth Cavenar&#;s own description of inspirations underlying her work. Beth&#;s trained at the Charles H. Cecil Studio in Florence, Italy. The Cecil studio offers a traditional, 19th century atelier-style of art training focused on drawing and painting from life. Returning to the US., Beth graduated from the Ohio State University with a Master&#;s in Fine Arts degree in ceramics in She has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. Beth&#;s roughly modeled clay sculptures typically depict writhing animal forms in a variety of actions and interactions &#; alone or with other animals and sometimes staining against inanimate constraints like chains and ropes. I&#;m reminded of a famous mural Duel With Cudgels by the Spanish painter Francisco Goya depicting two men mired in mud, ruthlessly flailing at each other to death. &#;I rely on animal body language in my work as a metaphor for &#; underlyin
