SALLY RUSSELL Biography
I am fascinated by the interplay of shape, color, texture and pattern and the unlimited possibilities they create. My totem-like ceramic sculptures are an exploration of these elements.
Stacking components in a vertical fashion forces the viewer to physically interact and engage with the work from a variety of different angles. To me, the experience of three-dimensional art creates an unconscious relationship between the viewer and the work itself.
My hope is that these sculptures delight the soul and awaken the imagination.
