Lisa Pedolsky, Two Fish Studio
Durango, Colorado
Lisa Pedolsky’s forms are hand built slabs constructed in terra cotta. Beginning as a sketch, each form evolves with the use of patterns, cutting, folding, darting and assembling. Lisa uses many homemade or found objects to create unique patterns on the clay and to apply slips and glazes in an interesting way.
“I find I develop an intimate relationship with each piece I create. Even when working in series I will discover the nuances unique to each form. These individual characteristics may be the result of variances in moisture from one clay slab to the next, a more gentle or forceful touch, the use of a different tool or, sometimes, the inexplicable. The process itself, therefore, can be revealing as the work teaches me.
“While my forms are recognizable - a box, a bottle, a bowl - my intention is to evoke a deeper response. My work is intended to move from my hands to another’s, and is there that the full potential of a piece may be found. Functionality - to store in, to pour from, to serve with - is the doorway, discovery is the goal. Whether a piece reveals my source of inspiration, offers an opportunity for aesthetic contemplation, or provides the deep satisfaction that comes from interacting with a thoughtfully crafted object, the most successful work conveys something more than the sum of its parts.
