Imaging the Climate Crisis. The Ceramic Art of Horie, Galloway, Snider, and Rhymer-Zwierciadlowska
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This contribution focuses on four contemporary ceramists who believe that art can be a vehicle for social change. The climate emergency informs the work of Ayumi Horie, Julia Galloway, Amy Snider, and Julianna Zwierciadlowska-Rhymer. Each desires to create a dialogue with the viewer and to incite positive environmental action. Horie began The Democratic Cup in 2016. She adapted the concept in 2018 to bring people with divergent views of the environment together for civil discussions in four different cities of Minnesota. Galloway was so shocked at the decapitation of the Wandering Albatross and its near extinction that she set about to create classical funerary urns to draw attention to the endangered species of New England. Amy Snider’s objects concern the world’s melting glaciers and the climate crisis that is causing their disintegration. Julianna Zwierciadlowska-Rhymer’s sculptural installations explore society’s relationship with food. She creates banquet tables of beautifully crafted cakes on their delicate pedestal holders to call attention to both the extravagance and waste of living in the twenty-first century as well as the treatment of animals and food additives.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
