Artist Statement for Amanda Roddy
|
|
|
My creatures are the resulting visual poetry of a dance between the clay and I. Through the practice of spontaneity I develop controlled organic forms. I practice this spontaneity in two-dimensional drawings and in my three-dimensional clay forms. I use fluid colorful glazes to enhance the form and give the creatures a vital quality. I view glaze similarly to blood that gives us color through our translucent skin.
The process of transforming clay from the earth into colorful jewels is magical to me. I enjoy taking clay and spinning it into a hybrid of exotic plants and animals and my imagination. Often the most beautiful plants and animals are also the most dangerous. I use spikes and tentacles and bumps and unique colorful glazes to represent this threat.
I create these hybrids because I want to explore the infinite possibility of forms in nature.
-Amanda Roddy
