NANCY SELVIN

Artist Statement

Nancy Selvin’s clay forms hint at the familiar, re-examining the spaces we inhabit……..the bowls on a counter top, the bottles on a sill. Recorded in the clay surface is an investigation of process, toolmarks and the haptic application of color hint at  how the work was made.  Writing in “Ceramic Art and Perception” David Brin states: “Selvin invites us to leave the utilitarian world and partake of the world of ideas from which the artist creates. This journey away from the ordinary brings a new way of looking at things. Upon returning to the practical world, nothing looks the same.”
