Yvette - Femme Collection

"Yvette" is part of the artist's "Femme Series," a sculptural exploration celebrating the female form. She is trying to capture the universal balance and grace of the female form. The delicacy of the of the pierced form, combined with the unexpected and seemingly impossible strength of the clay reflects how she sees women throughout history. They may appear delicate while having incredible powers of perseverance, toughness, and resilience.

In creating this one of a kind piece, the form is thrown on a pottery wheel. Small holes are created when the clay is still wet and then each hole is painstakingly enlarged and smoothed when the clay is bone dry to create a lacy and delicate look. This pierced sculpture is made from white stoneware. It is fully glazed with a black satin finish. The interplay of light and shadow, color and form complements any urban, contemporary, or transitional space.
