Alice Ballard - Artist Statement
My art is a reflection of my relationship with natural forms. These forms come to me
on walks, while I work in my garden, or appear as gifts from friends who share my
fascination with the beauty inherent in Nature’s abundant variety of forms. It is often
the metamorphosis of nature’s forms, as they change from season to season, that
attracts me. I am endlessly drawn to that universal world in which differing life forms
share similar qualities.
I spend countless hours contemplating a particular form in order to feel its energy. It
becomes a Zen-like connection not unlike a meditation. As an artist, I hope that
those who choose to connect with my work can share some of the harmony and
tranquility I feel through the creative process. Perhaps, at the very least, the viewer
will give those small, often unnoticed forms in Nature a second glance.
Alice R. Ballard. (born June 16, 1945, Florence, South Carolina) is an American ceramicist based in Greenville, South Carolina. Much of her work is characterized by the organic earthenware forms of closed containers...
