Artist’s Statement
“The beauty that exists in nature is what attracts me to the effects of a wood-firing and, subsequently, to the forms as well. It is the ‘imperfections’ of nature that I find intriguing and appealing. Not that all ‘mishaps’ are aesthetically pleasing, rather, that we should be aware that there is a wider spectrum of beauty than we readily choose to accept…”
- Jeff Shapiro, on his work
