How their sometimes conflicted light within is outwardly manifested, may draw added negative inferences and perpetuate objectification.

Tietz, I. Bondarenko, D. Bowden Gutman Gallery, July 1 thru July 31, 2022 Over recent years, E. Ingrid Tietz's Innocence Project (eingridtietzart.com) has focused on the innocence and fragility of children with sculptures based on slip-cast porcelain pieces derived from infant and children's clothing. Fragility and resilience are a continuum. While children are indeed resilient, their resilience has been assailed in many ways throughout the world, currently in Ukraine. "The Same Shoes," (V. Zelenskyy to V. Orbán on 03.25.22) is a collaborative effort by Clay Work Studio ceramicists (Studio Director: Y. K. Lee), to focus on the current plight and death of Ukrainian children brought about by the Russian invasion. The emotional trauma surviving children experience from conflict challenges their resilience and casts a lasting shadow over their lives. The Ukrainian flag (I. Bondarenko, D. Bowden) and the accompanying children's drawings, also in the window were hand-colored by elementary school-aged children at the Ridna Shkola Ukrainian School in Warren, Michigan. The flag is a backdrop for 109 white porcelain children's shoes representing the innocence and fragility of Ukrainian children (E.I. Tietz) killed as of 03.25.22, the 42nd day of the invasion. Stuffed animals, also made of porcelain and children's toys, scattered amongst rubble complete her installation. Since the start of the Russian invasion at least 339 innocent children have been confirmed killed and 611 injured. Nearly two thirds of ~7.5 million children in Ukraine have fled their country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5919f8e9d2b857811c063188/1766602344550-WBBYXT3ZFQ6ZKFQ4KGTA/image-asset.jpeg Work - "Born in the U.S.A.", Then and Now Stoneware, porcelain slip, offset lithograph, clear glaze, etching compound, zip tie E. Ingrid Tietz, a former neuroscientist and now artist, was born in Rockford, IL, in 1954 to German immigrants who arrived in New York Harbor in 1952. Her father, drafted into the German army at 19, was captured in 1943. As a medic, he was retained in a Texas internment camp for 3 years. After repatriation, he resumed his medical training in Germany. During her training as a medical technician, her mother escaped the incendiary firestorms in Hamburg. Nonetheless during and after the war with Germany, American's remarkable decency and generosity extended even to German emigrants. Her parents were naturalized as US citizens in 1958, realizing the new promise of America as a pediatrician and a German teacher. As a birthright citizen. E. Ingrid Tietz, Ph.D. had the same opportunities. On inauguration day 2025, an executive order was promptly issued that contradicted the language of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which grants birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court recently agreed to hear the challenge to the executive order. The current administration has also suspended, and plans to significantly alter the US refugee admissions program, as well as other sponsorship programs leading to U.S. citizenship to fit their own distorted cultural image of America. The opportunities American citizenship offered refugees in the past is fading and citizenship is now 'for sale' for 5 million dollars. Zip-ties and deportation are now the norm for immigrants seeking asylum and/or pathways to citizenship for themselves or their American-born children. America, my country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, now land of cruelty, let freedom ring again. E. Ingrid Tietz, The Innocence Project, 2025 Ceramic artists Darcy Bowden and Juan Jose Arzac facilitated the rendering of the ceramic offset lithograph.
