Pattie Chalmers

At first glance, even though my principle medium is clay, my work might appear somewhat disjointed; I make objects, figurative work, vessels, and pottery, among other things, and though visually distinct, each approach is linked by a connection to narrative and memory. Through my work, I attempt to depict some of life’s complicated experiences—the death of a first love, the diminishing of a parent, or the recollections of a lifetime of relationships, for example. I am inherently a storyteller, and though my work is narrative in nature, I imagine it as more of a poem than a novel, and I find it most successful when it functions as a conduit to shared reminiscences and imagination.
