Artwork Description
Luce Object Quote
"Straight parallel lines are created by stacking up slices of various colored clays but in the manipulation of the resulting soft block of clay, the lines become undulating or are perhaps made to taper down to hair's breadth. . . . I think of my patterns as being a collaboration between my imposed structure and the clay's wise alteration of that structure." Artist's statement
