Susannah Israel (Oakland, CA, USA)

(large scale figurative ceramic sculpture) ("There is an inherent
paradox in working with so responsive a material as clay. Traces of
touch - fingerprints, knuckle marks - are formed, moment by moment, with
relentless fidelity. Such intimate contact of hand and clay remains far
beyond the process, beyond even the life of the artist; it is a
permanent record of impermanence.")
