 Oval Jewel 2 |
Interplay Henry Moore, a well-known British sculptor, placed one of his large sculptures in a farmer’s sheep pasture. He explained how he enjoyed the changing nature of the sculpture as it interacted with the sheep, the landscape and the changing light. I became fascinated by the idea that a sculpture’s relationship to its environment, in particular, light, affects how the viewer perceives the work. |

Working within this context, I began to create work that utilized form and texture to capture and manipulate light. In my earlier explorations I discovered primitive firing, a process that uses both fire and smoke to create unique patterns and designs. I fell in love with the uncontrolled nature of the patterns, the contrast between light and dark. By using this method on my strongly architectural forms I was able to create disparity between the form and the amorphous surface. Then the fun really began. With inspiration coming from many sources, I played with the forms and surfaces, augmenting the surfaces to enhance the qualities of light. Every exhibition is a journey of exploration and growth, finding one’s voice. This has been but a step. I hope you enjoy! Many thanks to:
