Back of Douglas Kenney ceramic wall plate 2, 2020-5. Buff sculpture clay covered with white slip. Carving on the back is filled with colored under glazes.
The excitement in ceramics for me comes from the process of making objects and the finished product when displayed. I like bright colors that stand out while the layering of information creates an illusion of depth. The approach is similar to that of abstract paintings but with ceramics the shape of each object and the permanence of firing make a unique statement.
