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."

Louise Pappageorge
Louise Pappageorge is a native of Chicago and a graduate of the School of the Art Institute, Chicago. Her work is included in many national and international private and corporate collections, including the City of Chicago Merlo Library. Publications include American Craft, Fiber Arts, and Home Magazines. She currently divides her time between Chicago and Michigan. Early on through the women in her life, Louise was exposed to all types of “domestic” crafts, sewing, crochet, knitting, embroidery and macramé. Although her artworks have little to do with the utility of these crafts, she retained a profound interest in the mediums and sensibilities of those domestic crafts and their implications to feminism and women’s work. Her current work incorporates found and newly created crochet and laces to construct sculptural bodies of work that are metal leafed and patinaed creating sculptural forms from a feminized craft. In addition, Louise casts these laces in bronze to further explore the contextual relationship of lace to the surface. These newly defined artworks are a defiance of gravity, defiance of invisibility, and the gravity that has kept them in the background. She views these dimensional artworks as a dialogue about the initial feminized craft used as a background, metamorphosed into sculptural forms that take on the characteristics of the “masculine” fine art sculpture, thereby enhancing their intrinsic value.
