Presence: being, effortless, silently aware, first nen from Buddhism.

When creating work in the Exploration series, I leave the sculptural surface as raw as possible, allowing the viewer to complete the forms.  In the Presence series, I move the pieces beyond a simple clarification of the figure to a work with a highly resolved surface, keeping the form as clear, as full, and as subtle, as possible.  Along this theme I have reworked each form in clay, further exploring the voids and the surfaces.  Ceramic explorations of Presence are shown here and described further in Void & Form.
