(John Flores) Mother Barrel

John Flores is a contemporary ceramic artist who lives and works in Yucca Valley, California. He acquired a BFA with a focus in Ceramics at California State University Fullerton in 2019. John’s work revolves around a notion of sacredness that he associates with the natural world, an interconnectedness between all living things. Those notions embody the visual stylization of Flores’ work, with sculptures that often depict botanical forms combined with humanistic elements. Using his imagery as a foundation, John will weave in everyday life experiences, turning every sculpture into a narrative. Telling stories of shared experiences that often deal with changes and transitions in life.
