Ceramics
With
color, shapes and memories of an imagined world I make shapes
out of clay that are formed separately and fired in a kiln --
a few times some of them. Once the flame has wrought its magic
(or havoc), creatures, houses, trees, odd shapes emerge transformed
to find themselves floating, gliding, dancing in a Garden of
Eden or peacefully contemplating the moon.
After
a quarter of a century (unbelievable!) of working with porcelain,
of making functional and smooth-surfaced pots, I'm enjoying
making parts for a small world where for brief moments I am
god creating an improbable universe.
