About Fiona

Throughout the years of working in ceramics, I have developed my own sculptural process. I produce various open and closed forms on a traditional potter’s wheel with the idea of building a technically balanced, formally resolved composition.

I explore the combination of stackable forms by manipulation during the hand-building process. I do this by coiling, pinching, and otherwise deforming closed forms that I then use to construct a more organized and asymmetrical sculpture. On the contrary, I also experiment with the combination of symmetrical forms from the potter’s wheel.

My attraction toward the modern, neat, and playfulness of asymmetric and symmetric balance are aesthetics that complicate the anatomy of my making. Focusing on formal qualities of the finished sculpture rather than its metaphorical potential, my works are nonetheless intended to reflect the aesthetic pleasure of a fully resolved art-work. However, I also aim to inspire the interpretation and perspective of each viewer.
