Montana Art

1961-71

The imagery of my style is considered to be a refreshing alternative to production pottery and classical functional ceramic forms. An opportunity is presented to create a personal visual narrative using a tactile vocabulary in clay starting with abstraction, moving through textured patterns towards a motif that is personified characterized, and finalized with a molded anatomical personality, all existing within a single unit of ceramic sculpture.

The Principal album is broadly representative, but not comprehensive. The other albums are based on specific topics and periods of time, resulting in overlap.
