Description

Catherine Thomas is an artist who works with clay, reclaimed wood and found objects. She creates sculptural & functional objects which reflect the beauty and fragility of the urban and natural environments using these materials. She works almost exclusively in a reduction atmosphere with wood as fuel: This creates complex surfaces which have been marked through a process which tests the integrity of the object just as the way our lives are tested through our existence. We relate to the object, then, as a reference to our own lives reflected on the surface with its scars, marks and flaws.

About The Artist

Catherine Thomas

Catherine Thomas uses clay, reclaimed wood, and found objects to create sculptural and functional objects that reflect the beauty and fragility of the urban and natural environments. She works almost exclusively in a reduction atmosphere with wood as the fuel to create complex surfaces. The scars, marks, and flaws on the surfaces of her pieces are a reference to our own lives. Catherine is an engineer by training and had studied with various clay and wood artists to develop her own vocabulary and story. Catherine's interest is in functional artwork, the mystery and language of everyday objects, and the ongoing process of creation and interpretation.  She brings a lifetime of storytelling to the making of her work. The sound of the sea, the rustle of aspen leaves in the wind, the flicker of fire inspire and compel the artist to build.
