Artwork Description

Linda Sikora created striking surface patterns of woodgrain on this grouping of functional pottery. The work inspires reimaginings of the familiar. As the artist explains, “I am interested in pottery form for its familiarity and congeniality, its ability to disappear into private/personal activities and places. . . . [it] can also excite/awaken attention and thereby reflects back to the viewer their own imagination.”
