Born
and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, artist Tiwi Wood now makes her
home in Fresno California. Tiwi holds a Masters Degree in
linguistics from Fresno State, where her love for ceramics was
ignited while studying under California ceramic artist Jim
Shepard. Tiwi creates
salt-fired stoneware sculptural and utilitarian works, often with
applied and incised animal and floral elements.
The forms she creates are traditional, but are constructed
with an organic freedom that adds a wonderful asymmetry to the
work. |
