 Jane Rekedal - Ceramics- Functional
& Sculptural
There is something especially appealing about a pot that both functions well and
is pl easing
to the eye. I enjoy
making pots that are held, used, and admired for their beauty and for how they
work. It is challenging and satisfying
to create pots that successfully meet these design and aesthetic criteria,
especially without repetition. My work is intended for use and it completes the
circle when people get to know their pots. One appreciates the nuances of the
balance and the feel in the
hand and becomes familiar with the details of glaze and texture. The user gets
to know me by experiencing my pots- a kind of communication that speaks across
distances and time.
Recently my work
has taken a bend
toward the sculptural. Vegetables from the garden have turned in to
clay, and vases and bird baths sprout leaves and fruit. Viking ships set out to
places yet unknown, horse teapots show up for teatime, and cats peer out at the
world. I continue to produce the vessel format but with sculptural additions
that reflect who I am- my interests, my environment, and my heritage.
