Artist Statement

In Memorial by Jacqueline Lewis

I work intuitively, influenced by organic forms found in rock and landscape. The sculptural vessels are designed to express strength, movement and to encourage quiet contemplation. The surface is multi layered with slips, oxides, textured and glazed.
