Artist Statement

Sue Springer’s ceramic sculptures reflect thoughts, experiences and particularly issues of the day. Often, they come together in a series with a specific thread. She creates quirky high fired ceramic sculptures from rolled slabs and textured forms. The sculptures celebrate color, whimsy and the freedom of unexpected combinations. Dreams, imagination and wonder combine with a response to the current world to tell the stories of these figures. Currently the sculptures are an assemblage of forms stacked and balanced to create large figures.

Springer has said “I never know quite how the work will evolve, and am committed to allowing the figures to develop naturally and intuitively, often surprisingly”
