Details
(Demos often during the tour: mostly slip decoration and sculpting techniques.) For the first 30 years of my career ‘being of use’ in a literal way was paramount: tea sets, soup tureens, cake plates, deviled egg servers, you name it. And now, sauntering up to age 50, I don’t so much need to be of use, I only need to be. Freedom! Things I’ve been making recently cover a wider gamut: yes-functional pottery but also large objects for the garden; fountains, giant eggs and bird baths. And most fun of all: narrative figurative sculpture. My goal is to stay open as I journey through this transition. Simple. Not easy. But oh, how I love to be in the studio with this partial blindness. I rely on other senses. I’ve begun using found objects with the figurative works and these objects serve to trigger subconscious ramblings and rumblings which, when brought out into the light of day, cast long shadows that take me through unknown doorways and out into a new openness where the air feels different on my skin. I have, in fact slid down the rabbit hole. Additional images of this artist's work can be viewed in our gallery. Visiting artists: Gloria Kosco Holli Hollingsworth
