Stephenie Bergman: Selected works, 2010-2021
After more than a decade of making sewn canvas compositions, I looked for a more rigid material to work with. I began experimenting with clay. I was never drawn to using the wheel or experimenting with glazes. I immediately rolled out the clay into flat slabs which I cut into shapes with which to build objects. I found an amazing freedom being able to make whatever came into my head. I could play with forms and volumes. I could add shape upon shape or eliminate shapes. Even though the things I made were useful, their practicality was unimportant. They were often whimsical and funny.
