About Gina

Baltimore City
Gina Alexandra Denton is a visual artist based in Baltimore, MD. Her sculptural practice is rooted in intuitive play, and her material index spans several craft based media, including fiber ceramics, and metalsmithing. Viewing art making as a form of intuitive cosmology, Gina creates work that explores the concept of space, both internal and external, micro and Marco. Her interactive, modular, “playable” sculptures aim to cast the viewer in the role of… more

Hand Built Ceramics.

I love hand building with clay. My predilection within this medium is to create mid-size to large functional vessels whose surfaces display hyper graphic-glaze patterns that reflect my drawing style, interest in pattern, and fascination with the interplay with the micro, and macro cosmos.

Big Girl Wanna Play Too

BIG GIRL WANNA PLAY TOO Is a project that I completed at Elsewhere Museum in Greensboro, North Carolina for the Baltimore Goes Elsewhere 2017 exchange fellowship.


BIG GIRL WANNA PLAY TOO is a modular, playable sculpture and wearable line that explores fatness, femininity, and the politics of self expression . It lives in the "Transormatorium" or wardrobe of Elsewhere museum, and utilizes Elsewhere's vast collection of mid century upholstery fabrics as a primary medium. It also adds to the wardrobe in the form of a series of fat, plush wearable pieces that hopefully begin a tradition for future residents to create thoughtful wearable art/ couture for the collection, from the collection.
