Is this little guy looking in the mirror? Here’s a little soda-fired sculpture with a drawing on a vintage shelf and frame.
I learn to work with what I have, wherever I am. This is probably a product of moving around so much, from college to college, every semester, re-making demo pieces each time. Using whatever clay is there. Trying to keep things interesting and fresh for myself and my students. I find it takes a couple of semesters in a studio to learn how the kilns fire with each new body or glaze, before being able to use them intentionally and effectively. Most of the time, I’ve just got to wing it. See ya, SDSU, it was fun.
This is the very first piece I made during COVID, March of 2020, before the first lockdown. There’s a companion piece that goes with it, in keeping with this current series. Its not quite ready yet. I’m talking a little break to work on something completely different😶

About Lee Puffer

Born in Long Beach, CA, Lee Puffer grew up in Coastal Massachusetts and Maine, Mexico, Venezuela, and the shores of Lake Erie in Western New York. Puffer began her career after graduating with Honors from the Massachusetts College of Art with a BFA from the Studio for Interrelated Media in 1992, working with Tony Oursler among others.
In 2004 Puffer enrolled in the Graduate program at San Diego State University, earning an MFA in 2007 with an emphasis of Ceramics. Her nomadic background manifests itself in sculpture made with a distinct sense of place. Her background as a multimedia artist lends her sculpture and sculptural installations immediacy and a contemporary sensibility.
Puffer creates life-sized figurative and kinetic sculpture and installation which offer cultural critique through personal and controversial imagery often appropriating and re-contextualizing images and ideas from popular culture.
She has exhibited at The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, The American Museum of Ceramic Art, and The Women’s Museum of California among others. She is currently on faculty at Palomar College in San Marcos, California.
