My work over the years has been primarily clay. A very sensual medium. I love porcelain though it is very unforgiving, the translucent nature of the clay is breath taking. Now I am enamoured with polyclay and paperclay. A medium where you have more control over the casting process as clay can warp unpredictably in the kiln and lost wax is a long and expensive process. Bronzes also seem very heavy to me. Polyclay and paperclay are delightfully light in nature and quick to dry. My personality is quick and I enjoy seeing the end result in minutes rather then days or weeks. Currently I am working on a series of Cirque Du Soleil figures that float on the wall seemingly suspended in air (photos soon to come) and a series of bas reliefs where the figures are coming out of the frame to join the viewer in their dimension. Playful--no? : )
Enjoy!
