Geoffrey Booras is an artist whose practice spans experimental ceramics, painting, and sculpture. His work explores the complex relationship between humans and the natural world, with a focus on the histories of science, exploration, and philosophy. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at Gildar Gallery (Denver), Haw Contemporary (Kansas City), and The Museum of Longing and Failure (Germany). Booras has participated in numerous residencies, including at MASS MoCA, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the Arctic Circle Residency, Wassaic Project, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, and The Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center at Pocantico. He holds master’s degrees from Harvard University (Ed.M.) and SUNY New Paltz (MFA), and earned a BA in geology and studio art from Skidmore College. A former apprentice to renowned sculptor Toshiko Takaezu, he currently teaches ceramics at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. As a 2025–26 U.S. Fulbright Scholar, Booras represents the Greece–Iceland Joint Award in Arts and Design. His research in Greece will focus on locating and accessing historically significant clay sites in Athens, the Peloponnese, and the Cycladic Islands. By sourcing raw geological materials and collaborating with local potters, he aims to investigate the often-overlooked processes of clay extraction and processing. This work will inform a new body of sculptural and painterly works that reflect the material, cultural, and geological layers of Greek history. Through this project, Booras seeks to deepen the connection between scientific and artistic inquiry and highlight how each can inform a fuller understanding of place and meaning.
