My wall sculptures are constructed from altered slip-cast and slab-built ceramic elements in various shapes: circles, squares, triangles, irregular pebbles, rectangles, and infinity symbols.  They can be as small as a one-inch cube or as large as a 12-inch diameter circle.

 

I lay the elements out on the ground atop a large sheet of craft paper after a bisque fire, arranging and re-arranging until I’m satisfied. Pieces are mounted on shaped plywood.  The backing boards are finished with a warm color and built-in hardware to float each work an inch from the wall on which it’s placed. The combination of hue and space add a layer of dimensionality that plays with perception as reflected color and shadows shift in their own dance with light.
