ACGA ARTIST OF THE MONTH
MARIENNE CHAPMAN
When creating ceramics, I revel in the details. Whether I’m placing a constellation of tiny dots on an urchin or vase, or making a mountain of ceramic sprinkles (each one lovingly cut and colored by hand), every motion and color is painstakingly thought out. This detail and precision is the art. Dotting lines and form with repetitive motions and visuals is a joy for me.
Then, there’s the tactile feeling in your hand of the object itself, covered in raised dots or painted slip. That’s what it’s all about. You can’t help but pick it up and feel the texture. Roll it around in your hands. Run your fingertips across the surface. There is joy in that as well..
