Peggi Nadeau

I aspire to transform clay into something you might not expect. Inspired by the myriad patterns and organic textures in nature, I hand-build my pieces with porcelain or bright white high-fired clay, coiling and pinching to transform the medium. As I mark, carve, and pierce the surface, every detail—no matter how small or seemingly insignificant—matters. Even the smallest mark holds the power to move the texture across the surface, change its direction, and then turn it back again. With every mark, I contemplate how the glaze will carry the light through the vessel’s landscape of valleys and peaks. The surface work continues, and I find myself absorbed in the piece, letting my mood and feelings today influence the outcome. After glazing and firing, a field of play for the eye emerges from the kiln. With every turn, a new view presents for exploration—wholly unique and diverse in its detail, yet undeniably a part of the same environment.
