About the Item

Artist Commentary: Having spent days and weeks traversing Morocco, I fell absolutely in love with the vast landscape that became the inspiration for this piece. The mountains, the fields of crops, the mountain villages that were not evident at first sight that rose up from the earth, the earth hues that created a patchwork across the landscape. Flashes of bright colors dotted the neutral, textural terrain; poppy fields, children in brightly colored dress, textiles and carpets, fruit stands. Part of the Time & Space collection, this ""immediate"" drawing uses the receptiveness of clay, with movement and markings, the clay becomes a surface for communication. This 12-tile piece is created from slabs of earthenware clay, hand drawn and embossed with textures that flow across the entire surface. Washed, neutral hues move across the ground and dark stains are rubbed into the surface to enhance these wonderful textures. Embedded into deep markings on the clay are jewel-toned bits of melted glass that juxtapose the satin finish of the overall tile. Keywords: ceramic, wall sculpture, abstract, colorful, installation Artist Biography: As a former fashion & textile designer, Janine's ceramic pieces are a natural extension of her first career in the clothing industry. Having traveled across Europe and Morocco in her late 20's, Janine reinvented her artistic self by discovering her passion as a ceramicist and shifted gears to the career she continues to define in the medium of clay. She brings together her passion for color, texture, and form in her unique pieces which primarily focus on works for the wall, installations, and commissions. Her free-form drawings on clay, from the Time & Space collection, can be found in corporate settings, hospitals, and private collections across the country. Each piece is one-of-a-kind and can be created to fit in any setting. All her work tends to be in multiples that utilize the space in a vast and creative way. Janine loves to bring glass into her clay work to add bits of color and contrast, and she is always expanding on her work with new and innovative ideas.
