Original clay sculpture by Thomas Kerrigan.
Thomas Kerrigan, Artist's Statement
I am intrigued by spaces that are not accessible to the human eye but are accessible to the human spirit. I use textural forms to entice the spirit to penetrate to the interior of an unknown but vaguely familiar environment. The elements that I juxtapose are intended to create a dialogue that moves toward meditation. I aim to create a spiritual resonance in the works and my goal is that they will create a calming, healing effect. They are external objects but are intended to cause an inner shift of mood or focus.
My works are done in earthenware clay and fired to earthenware temperatures. Each piece is built with the pinch method of construction; small dabs of clay are added until the form is complete. When complete, I will then often go back and texture the surface. Each piece is fired three times, a different temperature for each effect wanted. In addition to stains and glazes on the surfaces, I also embed metallic projections into most of the works.
