an artist a day (not really) : Sara Paloma

I like how Sara Paloma prefers to sell her work in sets, not wanting to break up such a happy (and plump) little family.
 
 
With exception of the occasional loner....who, while still very lovely, looks a little sad on his own.
Poor (sweet) fella.

an artist a day (not really) : Young Mi Kim

A ceramic artist and designer of books, pouches, and say-er of pleasant words like these,
"Like all artists, I am always excited that something is absorbed into my body and it is brought back out into the world with clay. I sincerely hope that my works can be a start of a ‘warm echo’ for
someone."...Young Mi Kim

an artist a day (not really) : Chang Hyun Bang

I'm drawn to the spaces Chang Hyun Bang's work creates. Odd and beautiful little plateaus inhabited by wild/traditional ceramic textures and tiny pigs...what a world!

an artist a day (not really) : Gwyn Hanssen Pigott

As continued testament to how little I know about the ceramic art world, I had not heard of Gywn Hanssen Pigott  until I read in the ny times that she had passed away recently. I can see her influence in many of the contemporary ceramic artists I admire and feel a kinship with her work even if we are newly acquainted.
