Reflections in Clay

Start date: Saturday, September 6, 2008
Event is ongoing: Until Monday, September 29, 2008

As music is to the musician, dance to the choreographer, or poetry to the writer, so is clay in the hands of the artist. It can be formed and fashioned to impose beauty, serenity, and tranquility in the world around us.

I attempt to take what the Creator has already created and translate what I have observed into my own small creative style. For, if one listens, the sounds of creation can be heard as the sun peers over the horizon to bring its warmth and light to another day. If one sees, the beauty of the leaves can be seen dancing in the wind before gently falling to the ground, or the flower, as it reaches for the sun, slowly opens to reveal its glory within. This is what I long to communicate through my art.

Art reflects what is in the mind and heart of the artist. Whether in dance, music, film, clay, or painted on canvas, it can be used to enlighten or darken the soul. The choice lies within us. - Debra E. Brown
