Male Glaze

Alex Miller is a Los Angeles-based ceramic sculptor and founder of “Male Glaze,” a provocative but deliberate examination of the the toxicity of heteronormative art standards through clay. Playing off of the history of the the male gaze and its appropriation of female and feminine forms , the “Male Glaze” shifts the conversation to clay as product- genderless and unglazed. Furthermore, for every piece of art sold, a portion of the proceeds benefits victims of sexual assault. Although, this doesn't do much to change the history of control and abuse of feminine figures throughout history and in art it renegotiates and questions our standards of practice–hoping for change
