Elaine Adams

The body of work I am currently working on is about love in various forms. Love for Baltimore, love of history, love in mourning, love of details, love of embellishments, love of preserving, love of collecting. Cemeteries are some of the most reflective places for me, a space where I can search for images that call to me, sometimes something obvious like a flower or an angel or sometimes something subtle like the way lines curve into each other or a star easily overlooked. I almost work in reverse, letting designs or patterns that intrigue me provide me with ideas for functional forms rather than starting with a form and applying a design. Transferring these designs from stone to clay, I am able to bring them to life. Cemeteries provide beauty for the living to experience, I bring that grace into daily life through ceramics.
