 "Pulling Carrots" depicts a garden
scene with three women harvesting vegetables. Although the image appears to
represent a group of women working together, it is a continuation of a technique
I began using in the 1980s, in which a single figure is drawn in multiple
positions to depict a narrative of a specific action. The piece is one of a
series of Raku fired wall hangings created in 2005. Each piece begins as a
slab of clay, which is then draped over an arrangement of stones to create an
irregular undulating surface. The modified slab serves as a blank canvas
for gesture drawing from a live model. As the clay dries the drawing is
refined and sculpted in low relief. The final work is bisque fired and
then raku fired in a 55 gallon drum kiln. |
