Nyala Honda is a ceramic artist creating work that explores craft through the lens of genre painting.  Inspired by mapping, scientific methodologies, and the concept of personal mythologies, she creates collage-like narratives and extended metaphors that investigate the ways in which place, secrecy, and disjointedness assert themselves in our relationships and affect our sense of self.  Through drawings of mechanisms, natural motifs and text, Honda uses principles of craft and the implicit qualities of clay to express a sense of escapism, dissociation and constructed reality.   

Nyala received both her BFA in Ceramics and BFA in Art Education from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia.  She was awarded the CURO grant for Undergraduate Research in 2020 and has exhibited in shows such as Bull in the China Shop in Bristol, Rhode Island, Grit and Polish in Providence, Rhode Island and SIPS: A Cup Show in  Savannah, Georgia.  She recently finished a 2 year residency in ceramics at The Steel Yard and currently lives in Providence, Rhode Island where she is Post Baccalaureate student in Ceramics at UMass Dartmouth.
