Surfing the WWW by Helen Bates - May 8th., 2002
Hello, enjoy these:
Bishop Kelley School
http://home.earthlink.net/~taborj/index.html
Clayarter Jim Tabor has made a A nice start to this high school site.
Something called "Block Scheduling" and the availability of open studio
time after school and in the evenings has made this school's art program
accessible and obviously popular, from the evident happiness on the faces
of the students. Some nice work starting to happen there too.
Click on "Ceramics and Sculpture" to see the Ceramics section of the site.
Also to be seen are some pieces by Jim, so click on the name "Jim Tabor"
too.
Darrell Sherlock (UK)
http://www.pottingshedstudio.co.uk/flashtest.html
These are truly well-integrated and deceptively simple but actually very
sophisticated forms whose transparent gloss and semi-gloss surfaces allow
a feeling of being able to plunge beneath the surface to the underglaze
painting below.
I'm waiting for Darrell's partner Sarah Dunstan's work to be uploaded to
the site. C'mon! ;-)
Kester Moore (UK)
http://www.wildceramics.co.uk/
Pots in the landscape - powerful images of Moore's pots
"as if found" in the landscape in which he photographs them.
Stoneware, oxides, sgrafito, glaze over glaze, multiple firings.
These pots seem to be ancient artifacts, of man, or of nature.
Helen Carter (Berlin)
http://hc-ceramics.com/
Born in London, England, Carter forms curved small sculptures
in "T" material, occasionally adding porcelain for smoothness.
She works from the unconscious, developing the form first in
her mind before working with the clay.
Galerie Rooyart (Netherlands) (Best with IE)
http://www.artned.nl/rooyart/index.uk.htm (English link)
Gallery owners Mariėtte Groeneveld and Leo Martens are themselves ceramists.
The focus is on high quality sculptural ceramics and pottery.
There are links in four languages to present and previous exhibitions.
A very interesting site.
Phyllis Michele Greenhouse
http://www.bazarin.com/pmgreenhouse/pmgreenhouse_profile.htm
At the Wagner Bazarin Art Gallery
Greenhouse's work I can unhesitatingly say feels "feminine" to me.
Although her large vessels are basically traditional in form, the
decorative sculptural additions she makes to most of the pieces
change their aspect radically. "Post-modern" I am sure.
Happy surfing!
Helen
