STANLEY MACE ANDERSEN Stan Andersen works with
earthenware clay and is concerned primarily with making utilitarian ware for the
table and kitchen. He uses the majolica technique in decorating pots, and fires
them in an electric kiln to cone 03. He wants his pottery to become part of the
daily flow on domestic life, to contribute to the enjoyment of preparing,
serving, and presenting food. He is concerned with the expression of line,
color, patterns, and their relationship to the pottery forms. Because he
wants his pots to be used daily, he doesn't want to give the impression that the
maker has painstakingly labored over the decoration. He paints quickly and
directly on the raw glazed surface, creating liquid flowing lines, splashes of
color and overlaps of brushstrokes. His hallmarks are exuberance and casual
spontaneity, rhythm and grace. |
