Made In Los Angeles
Amy Dov, John Wigmore & Marjorie Salvaterra

Amy Dov’s hand-built ceramic vessels and sculptures draw inspiration from the organic processes of erosion, decay, and renewal. Working with reduction-fired clay, oxides, and woven glaze applications, Dov evokes the raw beauty of bones, branches, and sand-worn stones. Her work is an invitation to observe the quiet transformation of the natural world, reflecting the poetry of imperfection and time’s imprint on all things. A Master Printer from the Tamarind Institute, Dov now creates from her Los Angeles studio, embracing the grounding, meditative nature of clay. Amy joined RALPH PUCCI in 2025.

John Wigmore is a lighting designer and artist who cites natural materials, Minimalism, and the Light and Space movement of Los Angeles in the 60s and 70s as influences for his first light sculptures in 1993. He has continued to work with established architects and interior designers to build atmospheric light installations globally. His latest work is in ceramic, inspired by the clarity and restraint of Mexican Modernist Luis Barragan’s architecture, the sensitivity of Japanese tea bowls and Californian ceramic artists, which he captured in clay, Japanese paper shades and light. They are all hand-built, not slip-cast, rolled out individual slabs of clay that Wigmore pieces together almost architecturally. He lives and works in Los Angeles, where his lighting is made. He rejoined RALPH PUCCI in 2014.

Marjorie Salvaterra’s images reveal “a fine line between sanity and insanity,” according to Virginia Heckart, Associate Curator of Photography at The Getty Center. Her work, which focuses on women’s many roles in life, has been exhibited extensively in Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and children. Salvaterra’s other exhibits include at the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Rencontres d’Arles, and the Center for Fine Art Photograph in Fort Collins, CO. She was a runner-up for the 2009 and 2010 Berenice Abbott Price for Emerging Photographers. She joined RALPH PUCCI in 2016.
