“Open Window” Triptych (3 Panels/ 22” x 22” each) - Private Collection, New Albany, OH
“I think of my ceramic wall reliefs as paintings; not as a substitute of clay for canvas or glaze for paint, but as an investigation of the potential of ceramic materials to create compelling images on their own terms. Expanding on traditional ideas of tile work and mosaics, the work describes a new form which is both painterly and sculptural.”
These wall pieces are composed of handmade interlocking stoneware clay tiles specifically made to create each image. They are positioned edge to edge so that grout lines will not interrupt the flow of the images or distract from the beauty of the ceramic materials.
