Ray Brown

I make utilitarian pottery with the intent to provide the user with an entrance into a memorable and contemplative experience. Crafting works that are soft, inviting, generous, and strong, I intend for the user to leave with a sense of thoughtfulness and curiosity. I wish to achieve cohesive forms that capture a confidence of line, with supporting crisp and energetic surface decoration. Both in surface and form, I strive for a captured, pressurized volume within my work, as if they are inhaling. Furthermore, I am interested in translating curvilinear patterns and line work into three-dimensional forms inspired by architecture and forms from the Streamlining Era. By exploring these iterations, I create forms that are grouped or assembled into utilitarian pottery focusing on jars, flower vases, and teapots. Overall, through playing with proportions, surface, and color I hope to create a tactile and visual experience that prompts the user to slow down.
