Elianah Sukoenig is a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles.
She is currently working with clay to create that which transcends other modalities of expression.

Elianah works organically while pulling from a constellation of inspiration: nature, surrealism, mysticism, storytelling, play, homemaking & design as well as preceding artists and sculptors.

As a therapeutic practice of expression, she loosely plans her work–letting the the clay guide her and favoring intuition along with the unexpected. She is interested in blurring the lines between sculpture and function; rethinking and transforming otherwise traditional and everyday items.

Elianah enjoys using clay as a translation of how she moves through and romanticizes life. Her pieces evoke the experience of finding and creating moments of beauty where and whenever possible. She sees ceramics as a mechanism of kinship with the earth and all its fruits; an embodiment of the capacity for and joy of creation.

Elianah studied ceramics and studio art at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study.
