About

I make ceramic vessels and wall reliefs. Stoneware, painted underglaze. I work from a shared studio in Commerce and live in Downey — same county, different zoning.

My work looks at infrastructure domesticity, which is a phrase I use when I don't want to say "I paint sprinkler heads." I mean the surfaces suburbs train you not to notice: stucco, coping tile, parkway mulch, the concrete lip of a planter bed. I grew up with those things in Downey. I still find them more interesting than sunsets.

Timeline

Downey — born 1997, raised here, still here.

Cal State Long Beach — BFA Ceramics, 2020. Learned to love a kiln log.

Austin, 2020–2022 — studio assistant at Latchkey Gallery, 916 Springdale Road (Canopy). Solo show Parkway Studies, November 2021. Most of the people who own my work met me there.

Commerce, 2022–now — Unit 14, shared warehouse. Kiln, glaze table, packing station. I ship from here because this is where the kiln is, not because I left home.

Studio

The building used to distribute restaurant supplies. Now it's artists, a vinyl cutter, someone restoring motorcycles. My unit has a roll-up door that sticks in humid weather. The light is good until 4 p.m., then the wall goes flat. I work mornings when I can.

Contact

Questions about a piece, a restock, or a studio visit — email tyranaedwards@hotmail.com. I answer when I'm not loading the kiln.

If you're in Austin: I haven't forgotten you. I just live in California again.
