Artist Statement:

"I am interested in making pottery for the dining table. I would like my pots to visually “explain” something(s) of the processes that they undergo. It is important that the person using my pottery be provided clues, through subtleties in surface and form, as to the nature of these processes. Water and turning wheel, fingertips and palms pushing the wet clay. Melted glass and cooling crystals, nuances of wood ash or soda that have drifted through the kiln are interesting to me. I alter my shapes so there is something different to consider at that point when a pot may inspire a dialogue. I tap into the nature of Architecture and the architecture of Nature. I appreciate that contradictory variations can be found everywhere around us."

Artist Statement:

"Nature informs my work. Colors and textures of rocks, tree bark, water bodies and algae are some of the things that inspire me and I strive to emulate those surfaces on my pots within the constraints of an electric kiln."

Artist Statement:

"I use wheel thrown porcelain that has been folded, pushed, pressed, and ripped to make my forms. They are fired to cone 10 using fluid, translucent glazes, which preserves those actions in the fired clay."

"My pots reflect the curiosity I feel about form and line. They make visible the evolving answers to my inquiries into the nature of energetic expression, vitality, and structured volume."

Artist Statement:

"Fueled by a passion for Hip Hop and Jazz, Smith’s ceramics forms rely on wheel-thrown and hand-built elements, most commonly presented as abstractions of cups, bottles, and vases."
