Med Bowl - Red
Polymer Clay
Artist Statement
I have always been drawn to small vessels, particularly those with colorful, intricate designs: a ceramic bowl from Turkey, a mother-of-pearl box. Often used to hold treasures, the container always intrigues me more than its contents.
My passion is to create colorful vessels. Inspiration may derive from a traditional Japanese Imari porcelain, a print by Miro or recent travels to Cuba. In these pieces and places, I see colors and patterns, translating them into vessels of varied sizes and shapes. My interpretations are subtle but provide the basis for my designs, color palettes and use of positive and negative space.
Hand mixed colors of polymer are layered, creating patterns which run through the entire length of the "cane." Slices of contrasting colors, patterns, and complexity are juxtaposed around a form and cured in an oven. Each vessel reflects the shape of the form but remains unique in its presentation.
The results excite me; I am gratified to share them with others.
