CELADONS
an apprecmlion
November 6 - December |
Gallery of BC Ceramics

Celadons with their intrinsic beauty, long history and technical variabelity heave interested
me for years. They can be glossy and translucent like polished jade or opaque and matte like

stones ona beach Thes can alse be made lo break ancl pool overdecormtive pattems. A closer
look reveals tiny bubbles, undissolved particles and crystals floating in a glassy matrix.

These ure all surface
qualities | desired for
my thrown clay forms.
Thus, more than a dec-
ade ago, | be par & jour

ney into the history and
science of celadons.
Thr exhibition show-
cases works denved
from that journey. All
pieces speak af my hove
for sculptural form;
aome swell cut from a
narmew base and then
neck back tn at the top
Orher formes stretch up
or radiate owtward, cre

dling Gantamers that
pull you inward. All are
functional rounded
lerms that are UT iVL-
tation te Louch wand use
Celadon glazes then.
