Words by Debbie Pryor
An exploration into the duality of connectivity. The art of making is to communicate, to connect the inner and outer worlds.
In stillness and movement investigates the action of creating artwork as a way of connecting with others and with oneself. Connectivity may lie in the design of an object, from the form and function of a cup in the hand, to the exploration of materiality, or the human relationship with the natural world.
Duality also lies in the materials we use, the transformation from soft, malleable clay to rigid, impenetrable objects rich in narrative and intent.
An artwork can at once be still and spark motion.
