Sculpture - Roxy Paine

Maelstrom

I love these crazy tree sculptures created by Roxy Pain. They really capture the controlled tangle that makes up tree branches. Also, the interest and tension that he puts into the poses gives each piece its own individuality.

Wheel Thrown Porcelain - Jennifer McCurdy

YIN YANG EGG #1

"
Emotion fills me when I see perfect forms in nature, from the cracked conch shell on the beach revealing its perfect spiral, to the milkweed pod burst in the field, its brilliant airborne seeds streaming into the sunlight. The ordered symmetry and asymmetry of nature’s forms reveal the growth of life, the movement of life." -- Jennifer McCurdy

CONTOUR VESSEL #1

"
As a potter, I strive to make my work reflect the balance of life around me. It is important that the patterns I see around me are integrated into my forms." -- Jennifer McCurdy
