| Tara Wilson Cup wood-fired stoneware (3.5 x 3 inches) CUP 203 $30 |
Statement:
Quiet
pots initially speak softly yet reveal complexity in both form and surface
through continued investigation and use.
Embodied in my wood fired vessels is the serenity that I experience by
surrounding myself on a daily bases with a rich natural environment.

The
rich surfaces of the vessels represent the natural world. Nature also inspires form, in some cases
quite literally, as river rocks become saucers.
Other pieces speak of this passion more subtly. Bases reference the landscape, evoking a
sense of space and awareness of the land.
Parallels can be drawn between geological processes and the atmospheric
firing process. Pots physically capture
and record their firing process similar to the way sedimentary and metamorphic
rocks speak of their history.

Pottery’s
inherent relationship to the figure is accentuated in my gestural forms. The dialog between the forms changes as the
pieces are used. The simple things in life
are often the most important. My pots
speak of my passions, while at the same time allowing the user to recognize the
important things in their own lives.
