About the Item
Ceramic sculpture of combined clay bodies, unique processes developed by Anna Bush Crews, looks to inherent qualities in the material, the way it smoothes, or not, the way it stretches or breaks up in actions that make the shapes and form the sculpture, the way it looks next to another clay body, the way it fires, the way it shrinks and changes through each process, as one leads to another.
All in all, there are infinite variables. This piece emphasizes the shapes created from every angle, changing as the light moves and new combinations are exposed, the sharp and angular to the smooth and rounded fullness.
In an ongoing body of work, NOR (Nature Of Reality), I consider the layering inherent in everything, the compressing, melding, distorting, and resulting changes that happen through the process of life, human and geological. A balance of forms, an asymmetry with balance, is an intention.
After degrees from UNM and SFSU, I worked as an lecturer in photography in Zambia in the mid ‘70s and continued in different settings and teaching situations in Botswana, England and Wales, becoming a Senior Lecturer at the Newport School of Art & Design, University of Wales, at that time having a large photography program.
I have had the opportunity to live in cultures not my own and this has given me valuable perspectives, and a breadth of references not always instantly accessible as such, but there, hiding in the folds of time, lurking, changing, and reforming, influencing what presents itself in the present. Photography has given me the opportunity to look, study, and be present in looking at what is before me, now in Taos, my original home.
