Linda Crossan
The development of my work has been influenced by my years spent in the graphics community. As a designer, illustrator, I learned how to research and immerse myself in a subject so the work I produced felt organic and natural to who I am while speaking to the concept in an informed way. Years spent painting, drawing, working with color, and creating art in other mediums are now reflected in the clay work I produce. I came back to clay about six years ago and found its tactile nature captured my attention like no other medium. I hand-build large forms from drawings and throw on the wheel. I also work with low-fire clays for raku, pit and sagger firing and cone 6 clays in an electric kiln. Clay’s tactile nature captures my attention like no other medium. The ability to explore shape, texture and surface is so varied and exciting I am driven to continue to explore it. Built into the ceramic process is a moment in which an artist must let go and trust the process knowing that there will be surprises at the finale. I love the unexpected and the space I have to make for the clay to become what it wants to be not always what I think it should be.
