Biological Ceramic Creations


Heather Knight, a local ceramic artist had a booth at The Big Crafty this past Sunday, and I was stuck by the freshness of her biologically influenced ceramic creations.  The bowls and sculpture call upon the forms  of sea urchins and coral as inspiration. The effect: modern, bright and animate.  In the same way that the mid century artists sought to redefine the art object, Heather's pieces possess the essence of a living creature, emancipated from their maker.
All while maintaining a rich texture and a simple, clean aesthetic.  
Her work is for sale on Etsy and at her studio. (link above)
