Arlene Cason
Prisoner in Disguise
Originally from Texas, Arlene Cason studied art and discovered clay as a medium in Louisiana. She returned to Texas in 2003, where she began exploring different mediums and forms to express a renewed interest in post-minimalism. Working at a studio located in her barn, she sculpts utilizing found objects, recycled materials, metal and clay.
Arlene's maternal Japanese heritage has given her a lifelong respect and appreciation of nature and simplicity, which translate into contemporary, spare forms that allow each element to speak for itself. Her hope is that the viewers of her work will respond to the subtle gestures and quiet voices of her pieces to bring them a moment of quiet reflection.
She is a member of the American Ceramics Society, American Crafts Council, Texas Sculptors Association, Texas Artists Coalition and the Texas Clay Association. She has shown in numerous group, invitational and gallery shows. Permanent pieces reside at the University of Arts and Science-Oklahoma and the City of Monroe, Louisiana. Her work is featured in “500 Bowls” published by Lark Books and "The Extruder Book" published by the American Ceramics Society.
