About the Item

"Clay connects me to the earth, the smell, the feel, the tactility of the material. I surrender to it and give it presence; it gives me form. Following its own frequency, clay dictates its own order. Through the interplay of chance and surrender, mud becomes incarnate; becomes “human” and conspicuous as Adam in the Biblical creation myth. I do not separate the verdure or the terra firma from the “human” they are part and parcel the same. These works, with their suggestions of flora, fauna, water eddies, bone, and aggregations of rock and soil are my reaction to the elemental residue of collective existence. It is the quintessential aboriginal process being affected and transmuted by the four primal elements, earth, water, air, and fire. At first, stability is established only through random contacts and mutable form, reminiscence. Change and chance are possible until fire the final solution renders it nonmalleable and stone-like. There are shadows and hiding places in the personification where inner-most memory and secrets hide. Recognition is here, revealed in these tiny caverns. Remembrance no longer reminiscent but manifest, set in stone; an alchemical aggregation of materials, of recollection and primordial beauty. Dust to dust……………………….mud to mud; we are."
