Thanks to Carol Watkins for today’s amazing work.
In her words:
“I handbuild usually, in a pile-it-on, hollow-it-out method. I use varying surface techniques, anything from cold finishing with bondo and acrylic to multiple firings with underglazes and lusters.
(hmm good heros, they are some of mine too!)

Here we go folks – a month of daily doses of eye candy.
What a treat to start off the month with the amazing work of Sue Roberts. Enjoy!
Artist’s Statement:
From a young age I have been inspired by the human figure, so sculpting the figure just seemed to come naturally to me. I especially enjoy the challenge of capturing in clay the range of our inner psyches, manifesting through the figure’s gesture, posture and expression.
Humor and social commentary play a large part in my work, especially that of family and relationships. culturally, we generalize the concept of family and relationships, turning them into more of an ideal than reality.
Having fun with those generalizations underscores the importance of not taking ourselves too seriously, or becoming stuck within our own thoughts and perceptions. For me, there is a powerful inner strength that arises in being playful and open to new and different ideas and experiences. as an artist, that strength inspires and excites me to keep thinking differently about the human world and, at the same time, push myself creatively.
