Caitlin Rose Sweet is too gay to function. Her approach to craft is messy and maximalist, prioritizing moments of disorder and entangled intimacies over traditional mastery. In this way, she explores the layered relationship between the human body, the haptic nature of clay and the history of the ceramic vessel.
As a working craft artist, she challenges the distinction between art, decor, and tools. Rather than creating objects with fixed functions, her High Femme Goods are open-ended: use them to enhance your practices of self care, magic, and embodiment in whichever way feels right.
Caitlin Rose has a MFA from the Applied Craft and Design PNCA/OCAC. She presented a solo exhibit at Empirical Nonsense (NYC 2019) and is included in Queer Threads exhibit (2020 Katzan Art Center). She completed a professional fellowship with the Leslie Lohman Museum in 2019.
