glazed stoneware

15 x 8 x 8″

For most of my career, I had worked with female models, exploring issues of identity, sexuality and personal power. During and after the pandemic, that didn’t seem relevant. I also wanted to throw pottery again as I had at the beginning of my career. I found the process consoling, and I wanted to offer consolation to others. I felt protective of my friends and my family. I began a series of sculptures that combine thrown and modeled forms. They are meant to be protective figures from the realm of myth and imagination. This one, Buddy Buddha, is my own beloved dog, who was such a cheerful and affectionate companion during that terrible time.
