ARTIST STATEMENT
Caroline Blackburn is an award-winning native Los Angeles sculptural ceramic artist, who creates vessels that represent the optimism of possibility. The artist explores her interests in abstract painting, architecture and nature through clay. Trained as a painter, her sculptural ceramic work focuses on bringing a freshness and immediacy to each piece through colour, form, and surface texture. The artist approaches glazing like painting a canvas. She may first apply a slip, draw on the work with a ceramic pencil, and then hand-paint each piece with brushes of a variety of widths to accomplish a painterly effect and then, finally, grinding the surface with a stone.
Blackburn utilizes size, shape, colour and texture in unusual and rule-breaking ways to construct art works infused with tension created by combining oppositions – the conflicting and compatible, contemporary and ageless, soft and textured, thrown and hand-built, and the perfect and imperfect.
