These ceramic and wool wall sculptures evolved from a series of watercolors I painted over the last few years —gestural abstractions based on leaves, branches, and tendrils. Here those shapes, and the way they flow into each other, find a physical translation in the plasticity of clay and fiber.
Ceramics and weaving are two highly tactile mediums. The rigid ceramic components are extruded as clay tubes and gas-fired nearby at the Potter’s Studio. The soft wool yarn bundles are wound on a warping mill— a cylindrical frame used to prepare the loom.
While both weaving and ceramics are time-intensive and process-oriented, these assemblages retain an organic immediacy.
