Her Shop ~ White Earth Studio"White Earth, a series of porcelain vessels, is a homage to my childhood in the Dakotas, its visual images and memories. It is a deep respect, a bowing down to the earth where I have experienced it.
Walking the freshly plowed fields as a child, I would find fossils, shells and arrowheads heads. I have renewed and extended my fascination with these shapes. I have discovered new connections between the prairie (once an inland sea) and the ocean. Like the prairie and the sea, my pieces display hues against large neutral backgrounds - a touch of pink or a glint of pearl - finding a prairie rose in a otherwise green meadow, or a single shell on a stretch of sand.
White Earth comes from some part of me that works unconsciously, a part that reaches down into my memories. White Earth comes from that private part of me, and I hope it will touch that part in others."
Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteSuch delicate, pale flowers. Beginning to bloom.
ReplyDeleteThe textures in her work are simply stunning. Amazing find, Vicki!
ReplyDeletebeautiful, has a calming effect by just looking at them all.
ReplyDeleteas a fan of bold colors i surprised myself with being drawn to this work. i LOVE the subtle colors, they are so appropriately used, just a dash to highlight lovely detail the artist constructed. anything more would take away from her attention to detail. I am also in love with the forms, textures and shapes it is all so luscious.
ReplyDeleteso, so beautiful!

ReplyDeleteVicki, Thank you so much for the beautiful feature of my work. I appreciate all of your time and effort. Reading the comments has been lovely too. I have been so isolated in the studio since not participating in art fairs for the last six years,hense the comments are encouraging.
