Item Description
Summer & Fall Vase Set (Ceramics, 2.5"W x 13"H & 6"W x 8"H), Carol Henderson
"A friend gave me a stamp that he'd gotten in India many years ago. I'm sure he didn't know what I would do with it, but I knew right away that I would use it to make pottery. To me the stamp's dark wood shows four rather uniform trees; other people see four leaves. I have made tiles, coasters, platters, and vases like these using that one stamp. I think of trees, one of my favorite living things, as I hand-build the pieces.
"Working with clay is a deeply satisfying and rewarding form of art, also a challenge in relinquishing control, especially at the glazing stage. Before I discovered clay some seven years ago, I was a painter (acrylics) and printmaker (mostly monotypes). I also made computer graphics. I've always loved drawing-making marks on paper-and now as a ceramicist I can make marks on clay and bring other art techniques into play.
"I have lived in Southern Humboldt for five years now and exhibited at the Mendocino Art Center for the last two."
