I'm wondering if anyone can help me remember the name of an artist. I saw
her work in a book a couple of years ago and I no longer have access to the
book.
One of the things she liked to do was create "brushstrokes" by holding some
pretty wet clay (a couple of pounds I think) in her hand and brushing and
dragging her fingers over it to create texture, curve and drag marks. Once
she had a collection of these, she would assemble them to make these
beautiful energetic organic sculptures that looked like the motion of wind
or flame.
That's all I know about her. Any one know who I'm talking about?

Hi Nana,
My long-shot guess would be Mary Frank. But if I were playing "Who Wants
to be a Millionaire" I would have to ask the audience for my final
answer. Her book was published in '90; written by Hayden Herrera. She
often used more than just "a couple of pounds" though and made organic
sculptures, women, horses.

I think you're talking about the work of Dutch artist Irene Vonck but
she doesn't appear to work like that any more. Still nice work though.
Her web site www.irenevonck.com is either dead or not available but here
is another link. http://www.carlakoch.nl/engels/kunstenaars/ivonck.html
Still really nice work.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."
