Lynne R Meade In The Studio
My work pushes the boundaries of function vs. art. How little clay can express a vision? What is the perfect balance of delicacy and strength? Will the design stand the test of time?
Describe your creative process.
All of my ceramics are wheel thrown and hand carved or hand pierced. Everything is done by eye, without molds or templates. I keep to a simple color palette to let the intricate design speak for itself. The straight lines and undulating curves in architecture and nature imbue my organic, geometric forms.
Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
I am influenced art deco and art nouveau designs and architecture as well as the symmetry and dynamic patterns of the master potters of Mata Ortiz . Ruth Asawa's ability to create dances of light and shadow are also incredibly inspiring.
Where do you go for inspiration?
Hiking in nature, gardens, the ocean.
