CAST ACRYLIC SCULPTURE
LIGHT VESSELS
I discovered the wonderful plastic qualities of clay forty years
ago
as a student. Since then clay has played a constant part in my
studio life, adding texture, motion, and spontaneity to my sculpture.
The first light vessels
evolved from optic experiments I conducted
in 2005, using clay positives. The results were so satisfying,
and the
renewed relationship with clay so rewarding, that the experiment
became an ongoing series.
