Andrea Gill’s “Crewel Work,” 34 in. (86 cm) in height,
slab-built and press-molded terra cotta with engobes, majolica glaze, low-fire
copper blue glaze, made in 2007. I love Gill’s intricate designs that seem to
vary in different sections of the piece, but in some spots they collide. The
hand built style and folded form is unique, if the colors do not catch the eye,
the form definitely does.

Horrell’s Flesh and Bones vase (porcelain, mixed media, made in 1983) seems to
have a very interesting story behind it; she seems to focus her art toward
bones. I love how the figure is able to blend in with the vase. I wish that she
had more than one picture of it, because I would like to see the shadow on the
vase behind the figure. I am trying to figure if this could be considered
utilitarian or sculpture, probably a bit of both.

Margaret Bohls’ (porcelain, 4.75hx8.5wx7”, made in 2007) grid-like texture gives her pieces great
dimensions, and I love the vibrancy in the colors she uses. I am not crazy
about the leaf design she uses because it is over done in a lot of art,
especially utilitarian pieces. Also, I wish that she put a bit more glaze on
the feet, because the white that shows is very noticeable to me.
