Julie Moon: Carnations

Description

Artist Statement:

My sculptural work is rooted in representational imagery, emphasizing the possibilities of working with clay and the relationship between form and surface. ‘In Bloom’ showcases a series of stylized ceramic flowers and bouquets, with each piece possessing its own distinct form and surface design.

Utilizing various glazes and techniques to craft imagery, surface decoration becomes integral to interpreting the work, while also enhancing the tactile qualities of both materials and subject matter. – Julie Moon
