My work in ceramics seems to be constantly evolving and has recently changed from low relief ceramic vignettes and sculptured animal heads to sculptural garden art. The sculptures are meant to imitate plants and represent them in an abstracted form. I can’t possibly recreate mother natures’ ingenuity and inventiveness, , so my creations are just a nod to nature. I like placing them in a garden, among living plants and flowers .The inspiration for them lies there and it seems a good place to bring another dimension into the garden. As far as my creative process, I start by sketching a shape and keep revising it until I have something that “works”. I don’t define this any more precisely than to just decide that the shape is balanced and doesn’t need anything else. As I am defining it a reference to somethingwill appear and I then expand on that idea until I feels fully expressed My studio is in Siler City at 133 N. Chatham Ave. and you are welcome to come and visit me there during the year. For the Studio Tour I will be showing with 2 other artists in Bynum at Martha Daneks’ studio.
