Eleanor D. W. Ruder - Celebrate Monet
Monet's Sojourn: Claude Monet's home and garden has been my inspiration to contemplate his interruption of color to evident nature. Monet's influence on our collective minds is thought provoking it it's self, that his paintings are so ardently honored to this day. I have approached this collection contemplating Monet's use color, to meld with the emotions of Chinese method Suni-e painting.
Karen Clark Antrim - Tranquil Ferghana
During the last twenty years I have been sculpting animals, and of late, ponies and horses of all shapes, sizes and personalities. They have been created because I have a fondness, admiration and fascination for these great animals. Each horse enjoys an elevated status, and reveals a multiplicity of traits, rooted in historical tradition, realistic interpretation, and imagination.
Depending on the type and character of each horse created, I decide which type of clay and firing technique will best suit the animal. I use earthenware, porcelain, stoneware, and raku clay bodies. The clay is coiled for the horse’s body and the legs are pinched by hand until the horse assumes the appropriate position. I continue to sculpt the horse until the true equine spirit emerges.
Rescue Pony, as seen in the title of a few of my pieces of artwork, refers to a pony that has been slightly injured in some way during the challenge of the raku firing process. The pony has then been thoughtfully repaired, and holds the title of "rescue".
