This series reflects a progression from the Shrine Series. Enclosed interior space becomes open space within the body of the sculpture. Rooms become abstracted negative shapes. Many forms possess the symmetry and reductive approach of West African figurative sculpture. These large organic forms ranging from three to four feet high are far from uniformed round pots of this coil building pottery tradition.
Twisting jasmine embracing giant oak branches, layering rhythms, and the malleable nature of Louisiana clay all find their way into the form and surface treatment of these ceramic sculptures.
As contemporary sculpture these work make small revolutionary acts. Fired clay, acrylic paint and wax pencil marks push the craft of ceramics into subtle uses of mixed media. As a progression, each sculpture breaks the rules of the previous work. Expanding a shared territory of organic form and layering color.
